4. 4

   Halfeti was submerged under water due to the construction of a dam in the 1990, and a new town was built 15 kilometres away. As a result, the settlement is divided into Old Halfeti and New Halfeti. The old Halfeti can be reached by renting a boat, and it offers a nostalgic view of semi-submerged houses, trees, minarets, and monuments. One of the most iconic views is from the half-sunken minaret of Savasan village at Halfeti. The houses in Halfeti are made of stone, have two stories, and a flat roof. They are all parallel to each other, facing the Euphrates River.
