Çatıören, Archaeological site in Cilicia, Turkey.

The archaeological complex contains three structures, including a Byzantine church with standing walls and an apse near the main road.

The settlement developed from a Hellenistic origin through the Byzantine period, with a temple dating to the first or second century BC.

The Hellenistic temple features walls partially carved into rock and displays relief decorations of Caduceus, symbolizing dedication to Hermes.

Visitors need to travel 25 kilometers from Erdemli or 62 kilometers from Mersin, accessing the site through state road D.400 and local roads.

The site contains numerous water cisterns and burial chambers scattered across the terrain, along with a structure that might have served as a tower.
