Having been home to many civilizations, Batman has a rich heritage of handicraft culture. Batman has resisted the extinction of traditional handicrafts during time, and has maintained carpet and rug weaving, needlework, doll-making and the art of telkari (filigree) as its main handicrafts.

Batman's local soup, the yoğurtlu leben, is one of the most popular soups in the city.

The Sason district has received all shares of the beauties of nature. Flowers and plants in all shades of colors smile between the steep and rocky hills, filling one's heart with joy.

The three-days Batman Hasankeyf Culture and Art Festival takes place in early October and is organised by the Batman Municipality.

Hasankeyf is one of the oldest settlements in Mesopotamia. This beautiful region, with its natural and hand carved cave-houses, its deep canyons and valleys shaped by natural formations is definitely worth seeing.

You can start your first day in Batman by visiting the world's and Türkiye's extremely import and valuable Archeological Site of Hasankeyf.
