Mersin, Mediterranean port city in southern Turkey
The city stretches along the Mediterranean coast between the Taurus Mountains and the sea, forming a major commercial and residential center.
Archaeological excavations at Yumuktepe revealed continuous human settlements dating back to 6300 BCE, making it one of Turkey's oldest inhabited locations.
Mersin integrates diverse communities through its opera house, museums, and annual events celebrating local agriculture and maritime traditions.
The city operates Turkey's largest seaport, connecting maritime routes with an extensive network of railways and roads leading to central Anatolia.
The region produces substantial quantities of citrus fruits, supporting both local markets and international exports through its Mediterranean port facilities.
