Mersin is a city immersed in the greenery of palm trees and washed by the gentle waves of the Mediterranean Sea. One of the largest ports of Turkey, Mersin has for centuries been an important trading center, connecting the East and the West.
Here you can feel the breath of history dating back to 7000 B.C. The walls of the ancient city, which survived the rule of the Persians, Greeks, Romans and Ottomans, tell of a glorious past.
Today Mersin is a harmonious combination of past and present. Modern buildings neighbor archaeological sites, and the hectic rhythm of the metropolis is softened by the calmness of the sea breeze.
Mersin receives ships from hundreds of international ports and its port accommodates 3,800 ships per year, making it an important economic center of the country. But that's not all! Mersin is also beginning to open up to tourists, offering us a variety of vacations, from beach to sightseeing.

Mersin is where history meets the present, where East meets West. It is a city waiting for you to share its culture, beauty and hospitality.
