Tarsus is a historic province in south-central Turkey. It’s 20 km inland from the Mediterranean Sea. With a history going back over 6,000 years, Tarsus was an important stop for traders and a focal point of many civilizations. During the Roman Empire, Tarsus was the capital of the province of Cilicia and the scene of the first meeting between Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Tarsus is a junction point of Cilician plain (Çukurova), central Anatolia and the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is typical of the Mediterranean region, with very hot summers and chilly, damp winters. Tarsus has many ancient sites and historic buildings, such as Cleopatra’s Gate, The Roman Bridge of Justinian, Tarsus Museum, The St. Paul’s Church, The Mosque of Prophet Daniel, Eshab-ı Kehf Cave, Roman Road, Grand Mosque and Kırkkaşık Bedesten. Tarsus is also a great place for recreation. You can try trekking, rafting, photo safari, mountain biking or off-road racing. After a tiring day, you can enjoy traditional Mediterranean dishes and various kinds of kebabs in an all-inclusive resort or a bed and breakfast place.
