İ walked down south after the buses H2, M7A, M11, TR20, TR21 last stop - Cezaevi and intersection to Eskikale - and got a direct ride to Nusaybın after 1 minute. You can also try hitchhike from the upper intersection going north to Otogar or south to here, but there's more busy traffic.―GiovanniTonucci

These cities in the southeast see their population growing very fast so a lot of more people driving and sometimes longer waits. If you have money in a prepaid card take bus B7 from Otogar or Meydanbaşı to Ortaköy (14tl) then hitchhike to Dara or Nusaybın. Full bus route to Dara is bus B2 from Devlet Hastanesi at 12 only, 45tl, comes back at 3pm and 7am. You can use it to get closer to Nusaybın road.―GiovanniTonucci

Deyrulzafaran monastery. 3$ entrance. Most of cars are families who don't pick up solo males. They made me walk all the way back to the main road but i believe you can be luckier than me. You can ask people in the parking lot.―GiovanniTonucci

This is Dara (Zindan) I don't know why map says Oğuz. Full of tourists even in December so you can hitchhike back to Mardin. There is also bus B2 at 15 and 7 if you sleep here, 1.20$ with prepaid card.You can go to Deyrulzafaran monastery after Dara, just choose which road to take as the first is shorter but no shop, while the northern one crosses Eskikale village. MardinKart app says bus B7 goes to the monastery but drivers disagree.

Lots of vehicles, unfortunately I was at the location during heavy rain and no one wanted to stop. In the end they took me in the truck a long distance. The gas station staff is very friendly and helpful.―Markon

Lots of trucks going long distances after border crossing. Many locals also hitchhiking under bridge and also on road towards Mardin. Better under the bridge so you get picked up first.Got picked up by a truck with another dude too.
