Narlıkuyu Museum, Mosaics museum in Narlıkuyu, Turkey

The museum displays a Roman bath complex floor mosaic depicting Three Graces figures alongside representations of partridges and doves in black, white, and yellow stones.

Built in 1976 to protect a fourth-century bathhouse commissioned by Poimenios, the Roman governor of Corycus who discovered the water source flowing from Cennet sinkhole.

The preserved mosaic represents Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia, the daughters of Zeus, reflecting ancient Mediterranean mythology through detailed stone craftsmanship.

Located 20 kilometers from Silifke and 65 kilometers from Mersin, the museum opens daily from 8:15 to 19:00 with the ticket office closing at 18:15.

An inscription near the entrance mentions Poimenios and connects the bath to emperors Arcadius and Honorius, documenting the water source discovery.
