===East towards [[Viranşehir]], [[Mardin]] (and possibly [[Zakho]] in [[Iraq]])===
From ''Balıklıgöl'', walk towards the main highway through the city by following "Diyarbakır" and/or "Mardin" signs. After walking for about 20 minutes, you'll reach the highway. Then once along the highway, turn right towards east, still following "Diyarbakır" and "Mardin" signs. In After walking a slightly uphill section and in about 45 minutes since you started at ''Balıklıgöl'', you'll reach a large roundabout - here the road to Diyarbakır forks away so from this point on just follow "Mardin" signs. You still have a further ~20 minutes to walk to get to the outlying suburbs of the city. You may start thumbing when you find a good spot with a wide shoulder at one of the traffic lights in rows, because edge of the city is still away. It's very easy to attract a ride, though, as is in the rest of Southeastern Anatolia.
If all this walking makes you upset, dream that you are walking along the Silk Road—well, you actually are, as the highway—''İpek Yolu Bulvarı'', i.e. "Silk Road Boulevard"—follows the route what was once the Silk Road when through Urfa.
