About Mersin

Mersin, a vibrant Mediterranean province in southern Turkey, offers a captivating blend of ancient history, sun-drenched beaches, and modern urban energy. The provincial capital, also called Mersin, boasts Turkey's second-largest port and a lively waterfront promenade perfect for evening strolls. History enthusiasts will be enthralled by nearby treasures like the ancient city of Soli-Pompeiopolis with its colonnaded street, the stunning Roman mosaics at the Mersin Museum, and the fairy-tale castle of Kızkalesi (Maiden's Castle) sitting picturesquely on a small island just offshore. Venture inland to discover the breathtaking canyons and waterfalls of the Taurus Mountains, including the majestic Cennet ve Cehennem (Heaven and Hell) sinkholes. The region is also Turkey's citrus capital, with fragrant orange and lemon groves defining the landscape. Mersin's cuisine shines with specialties like tantuni (spicy meat wrap) and cezerye (carrot dessert), best enjoyed in the bustling bazaars. From relaxing on pristine beaches at Kızkalesi or Susanoğlu to exploring the archaeological wonder of Tarsus—the birthplace of Saint Paul—Mersin provides a less crowded but equally rewarding alternative to Turkey's more famous Mediterranean resorts.
