Diyarbakır Airport to Hazro Transfer: route notes and planning
Book the Diyarbakır Airport to Hazro Transfer once and the driver, the car and the route are sorted. See Diyarbakır airport transfer for every route from this branch.
What kind of country does the road to Hazro cross?
Hazro lies northeast of Diyarbakır at the foot of Uzuncaeski Dağı, with Lice to the north, Silvan to the east and southeast, and Kocaköy to the west. A Diyarbakır Airport to Hazro transfer is about 77 km, around an hour and twenty minutes. The south of the district is flat and the north mountainous, and you feel the change on the last stretch.
The town stands at roughly 1,000 metres. It gets more rain than its surroundings, with cooler summers and snowy winters, which makes it a welcome escape from the summer heat of the Diyarbakır plain.
As you climb from the plain, orchards and small valleys appear. In spring the green roadside contrasts sharply with the dry Diyarbakır plain. If you would like a short photo stop, note it when booking and the driver will pull over at a safe spot.
What about Hazro’s waters and historic sites?
The main river, the Zuğur, rises at Zergüş and joins the Tigris near Bismil. Green valleys and springs make Hazro a favourite for picnics and upland visits in spring and summer.
Ayn Dar Castle stands out among the historic sites. Together with its rock tombs and settlement remains, it was registered as a first-degree archaeological site in 2011, and a hidden tunnel found there is thought to have served as an escape route and water supply under siege. The Great Mosque in town is a single-domed, square-plan building dated to the 16th century, locally known as the Acem Mosque. In Ottoman times Hazro was called Tercil and it was part of Silvan until 1954. Add any of these sites to your Diyarbakır Hazro transfer.
Why do people go to Hazro, and how should you plan?
Most passengers are families going home. Hazro is also known for its dengbêj tradition of sung storytelling, which brings researchers and documentary crews; a Mercedes Vito takes both the team and the camera bags.
Snow is common on higher ground in winter, so the driver checks conditions before leaving. Lice and Kocaköy are close, so combining them is easy. For a flight home, leave Hazro about three hours before departure.
Summer visitors often stay for weeks and settle their return date later. You can book the outbound ride now and add the return afterwards; changes are free up to 24 hours before travel. A Diyarbakır Hazro transfer can include those neighbouring stops.

Frequently asked questions
Can we combine Hazro with Lice and Kocaköy in one day?
Yes. Lice lies to the north and Kocaköy to the west, so all three fit into one trip. Tell us the order you prefer and how long you will spend at each stop. In winter, allow extra time because of conditions on the mountain roads between the districts.
We are a film crew with equipment; will the vehicle be big enough?
For a crew of three or four with camera bags, tripods and light kits, a Mercedes Vito is usually enough. Larger crews or big flight cases call for a Mercedes Sprinter. Send the number of bags and the size of the largest case in advance and we will pick the right vehicle.
Can I book a child seat for the Hazro transfer?
Yes — add the child’s age in the booking notes and the car is prepared accordingly.
Can I book the return from Hazro as well?
Yes — tick “Add return” in the form and both legs are planned in one booking.
