Mersin

About Mersin

On the Mediterranean, Mersin offers sea and mountains together. The offshore Maiden’s Castle (Kızkalesi), ancient Tarsus (its waterfall and Cleopatra’s Gate) and the Taurus highlands create varied routes, while the Heaven and Hell sinkholes and Kanlıdivane are geological wonders. Its long shores suit camping and caravanning; tantuni, cezerye and citrus–banana groves are local flavours.
