Emrud Waterfall (also known as Başdeğirmen or Beşdeğirmen Waterfall) is one of the region's hidden natural wonders, located in the Kızıltepe district of Mardin. Situated amidst an arid landscape and tucked between mountains, it boasts a unique appearance—featuring lush greenery and a stepped rock formation—that is strikingly reminiscent of the Pamukkale travertines.

Best Time to Visit: The waterfall flows with full force—offering a magnificent spectacle—especially during the spring months when it is fed by rain and snowmelt. However, its waters dry up completely during the arid summer months. Therefore, it is recommended to plan your visit for March, April, or May.

Access and Hiking: It is located in the Ğurs Valley region, approximately 18 km from the Kızıltepe district center. After reaching the parking area, a hike of moderate difficulty is required to get to the waterfall. Since the rocks can be slippery, it is advisable to bring non-slip trekking shoes and a change of clothes.

August 30 Victory Day is an official national holiday celebrated with enthusiasm every year to commemorate the Great Offensive, which concluded in victory in 1922 under the supreme command of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

This great victory—a pivotal moment in the Turkish nation's struggle for independence—is marked by ceremonies across Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Today, the 104th anniversary of this glorious and historic victory is being celebrated with great pride throughout the country.

History and Significance
—The Start of the Great Offensive: It began on August 26, 1922, at Afyon Kocatepe under the orders of Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Pasha. Decisive Victory: The enemy army was decisively defeated in the Battle of Dumlupınar (also known as the Battle of the Commander-in-Chief) on August 30, 1922.

First Celebration: The first celebration took place in Afyon in 1924 under the name "Commander-in-Chief's Victory," with the participation of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Official Declaration: August 30 Victory Day was officially declared a national holiday by law in 1926 and dedicated to the Turkish army.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐫𝐳𝐮𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 are a magnificent natural wonder located along the Erzurum-Oltu highway within the boundaries of Erzurum's Oltu district, boasting a geological history spanning approximately 45 million years. Similar to formations found in China and Peru, these hills were created over millions of years through the accumulation of iron, clay, and various mineral components in layers, shaped by wind and water erosion. This undulating landscape, featuring a blend of red, yellow, orange, and brown hues, offers a unique vista, particularly for photographers and nature enthusiasts.
