Now let's come to the places to visit in Tarsus;

st. Paul's Well

The place where St. Paul's Well is located is considered to be the place where St. Paul, born in Tarsus, was born and lived, who is one of the "heralds" of Christianity and whose name is mentioned in the Bible as Paul of Tarsus. One of the important pilgrimage centers of Christianity, St. Paul's Well is located in the city center of Tarsus, in the Kızılmurat Neighborhood, where the old Tarsus Houses are located. st. The waters of the well, which is believed to be the courtyard of Paul's house, are believed to be healing and holy. Although the mouth of the well, which has a diameter of 1,15 meters and a depth of 38 meters, is round, the main part of the well is square and made of rectangular cut stones. We learned from the staff that when Christians visit the well to become pilgrims, they drink the water they consider holy, we just poured it into our hands.

The glassed structure in the photo above, right next to the well, is the remains of the house where St. Paul was born and lived.

• st. Paul's Well 2022 Entry Fee: 12,5 TL, valid for Museum Card.
• Visiting hours: It is open to visitors between 08:00-17:00 every day of the week except Mondays.

st. Paul's Church – St. Paul Memorial Museum

After the Roman Emperor Constantinius accepted Christianity, many churches were built in Anatolia in the name of St. Paul in order to honor his efforts in spreading Christianity. Located in the city center of Tarsus, St. Paul's Church is one of them. Different sources contain different information about the date of construction, MS11-12. There are those who say century, and those who say 1850. The church, which came under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture in 1991, was restored and opened to visitors in 2001 as the St. Paul Memorial Museum. Although the building has the status of a museum, the Christian community can hold a ceremony here whenever they want.

The church, which has a rectangular plan, has a three-nave plan. On the ceiling of the nave, there is a ceiling painting with Jesus in the middle and the writers of the Bible, Yohannes, Mattios, Marcos and Lucas in the corners. There is an eye motif in the continuation of the painting, this motif is said to symbolize the Eye of God. There is a bell tower in the north east corner of the church.

• st. Paul Memorial Museum 2022 Entrance Fee: 12,5 TL, valid for Museum Card.
• Visiting hours: It is open to visitors between 08:00-17:00 every day of the week except Mondays.

Old Tarsus Houses – Kızıl Murat Neighborhood

The most attractive place in Tarsus city center is undoubtedly the Old Tarsus Houses located in Kızılmurat, Cami-i Nur, Sofular, Tabakhane and Şehit Kerim neighborhoods. In Tarsus, where there are 300 old houses in total, 600 of which are registered, houses that carry examples of classical Turkish architecture made of wood and mud brick and Armenian architecture made of stone are lined up side by side. Many of these buildings were also used as movie sets. For example, Güvercinli Konak, photographed below, was used in the movie International, which was shot entirely in Tarsus, maybe you remember. The mansion in the photo above was used in the movie Ayla.

The general feature of the Old Tarsus Houses is that they have a high ground floor. The lower floors were used as "workshops", that is, the place where the crops removed from Çukurova, especially cotton, are stored, and the upper floors as living spaces. As in many parts of Anatolia and many Arab countries, there are separate doorknobs for men and women in Old Tarsus Houses. It helps us to understand that the person who comes to the house with a louder sound is a man, and the person who comes to the house with a higher voice is a woman.

Sahmeran Bath

There is probably no one who does not know the Legend of Sahmeran. To remind you briefly, Şahmeran is a mythological character whose body is a snake and whose head is a beautiful woman, who is considered the ruler of snakes. Tarsus and Mardin in Anatolia have embraced this legend.

Camsab, who found the place of Şahmeran by chance, wants to go back to his home after living with Şahmeran for a while, although Şahmeran does not want to give permission at first, he releases Camsab on the condition that he does not tell anyone about his location. However, the king of Tarsus falls ill with a deadly disease and his only cure is to eat Sahmeran meat. Even though everyone is informed, no one knows where Şahmeran is. According to the legend, the backs of those who see Şahmeran are covered with snake scales, and all Tarsus is asked to bathe in the bath to find the one who knows the place, and finally Camsab's deception is revealed. Camsab, who told the place of Şahmeran in order not to lose his life, brought the end of the snake ruler. Şahmeran is found and brought to the bathhouse and killed here. That bath is believed to be the Sahmeran Bath in Tarsus. Scenes of snakes attacking the city, who wanted to avenge Sahmeran, were found on the 2-year-old coins unearthed during excavations in Tarsus. Believe it or not!

Shahreman Statue

Şahmeran, the king of snakes with a human body and a snake head, whose story I briefly described above, is the hero of many similar stories told with different interpretations among the people, and is one of the most important mythological legends of Anatolia. The people of Tarsus have placed a statue of him right across the Old Mosque to keep him alive. If you happen to be in Tarsus, don't pass by without saying hello to him.

Old Mosque

I am here with another building in Tarsus whose construction date is unclear. The Old Mosque is a structure converted from a church to a mosque, but there is no clear information about its construction date, even so much that it is thought to have been built in a wide range from the 2nd century to the 14th century, or it was repaired many times. You can see the mosque between the Sahmeran Statue and the Roman Bath.

Roman Bath – Passing Under – Kemeraltı

One of the important Roman ruins in Tarsus city center is the Roman Bath, which is understood to belong to a large bath. The building, known as "Don't Walk Under" or "Kemeraltı" among the public, is located in the center of the bazaar, due to the passages opened under the bath to make it easier to reach the back quarters. Except for a piece of the wall, which is now estimated to be 3 meters thick and 9 meters high, not much remains of the bath.

Hz. Daniel Prophet Tomb & Makam-i Sharif Mosque

Makam-ı Danyal Mosque is located in the city center of Tarsus, just across the Kubat Pasha Madrasa. The mosque, which was built in 1857 on the tomb thought to belong to the Prophet Daniel, took its name from the Prophet Daniel.

Since the place where the mosque is located is the place where the old Berdan Stream passes, bridge arches from the Roman Period and a necropolis on the river bank were found under the mosque. Since the stream passing through the city center caused floods, its bed was changed in the Roman period and started to flow from its current place, and even the Tarsus Waterfall was formed in this way.

Kubat Pasha Madrasa

Kubat Pasha Madrasa is located in Tarsus city center, very close to Makamı-ı Danyal Mosque and Ulu Mosque. The madrasa, built by Ramazanoğlu Beyi Kubat Pasha, has the characteristics of classical Seljuk architecture. The madrasah, which has survived to the present day, has been restored and turned into a museum. The traditions of Tarsus are exhibited in the 16 rooms surrounding the courtyard. It is sparkling, stylish, very beautiful. If you go to Tarsus, you should definitely visit it.

Historical Siptilli Bazaar

Photo @visitmersin taken from the page.

The historical bazaar, located in the city center of Tarsus, has gained a brand new face by renovating old and badly conditional buildings. The old bazaar of the city has become the new bazaar, and you can stop by the Siptilli Bazaar to shop, eat something or just look around.

Clock tower

In the city center of Tarsus, the Tarsus Clock Tower rises in the northeast corner of the Great Mosque. Tarsus Clock Tower, one of the oldest of the historical clock towers exceeding 100 in Anatolia, was built in 1892 by Feyzullah Ağa, one of the notables of Çiçek Village, under the leadership of Tarsus District Governor Ziya Bey, in place of one of the collapsed minarets of the Great Mosque. The four clocks in the tower were brought from Germany. The tower, which has an octagonal body, is located at a total height of 30 meters from the ground, while the part added to the minaret is 10 meters.

Grand Mosque

The Great Mosque, located in the center of Tarsus, is one of the beautiful examples of Turkish-Islamic architecture. According to the inscriptions on the mosque, the portal and the pulpit, it was built in 1579 by İbrahim Bey, son of Ramazanoğulları Piri Pasha. Its minaret was built by Şembeki Aksungur on behalf of the Mamluk Sultan in 1362-1363. The fountain in the middle of the courtyard was added between 1905 and 1906. It is estimated that there was an old temple in the place where the mosque is located, and first a church and then today's mosque were built on that temple.

Kirkkaşık Bedesten

Kırkkaşık Bedesten is located in the city center of Tarsus, right next to the Great Mosque. Kırkkaşık Bedesteni, which was built together with the Ulu Mosque in 1579 by İbrahim Bey, the son of Piri Pasha from the Ramazanoğulları Principality, was built to be used as a soup kitchen and a madrasah. The covered bazaar, which has 25 rooms, got its name from the spoon decoration on its exterior. If you look carefully on the entrance door today, you can see the spoon embroideries.

After the restoration, this beautiful covered bazaar started to be used as a covered bazaar. When you come to Tarsus, I definitely recommend you to stop by the covered bazaar to buy souvenirs unique to Tarsus, drink boiling water and visit the colorful shops.

Tarsus Museum

Tarsus Museum was opened for the first time in 1970 at the place where Kubat Pasha Madrasah is located today. After relocating a few times and being closed for a while, it started to serve again on 22.12.2020 in the 75th Year Tarsus Cultural Center Complex. The museum building, which has three floors, has two large halls where Ethnographic and Archaeological artifacts are exhibited.

• Tarsus Museum entrance is free.
• The museum is open to visitors between 08:00 – 17:00 every day except Mondays.

Ancient Road – Roman Road

The Ancient Roman Road, which is estimated to have been built in the 1st century AD during the Roman Empire, is located in the city center of Tarsus. It is estimated that the road, of which only 65 meters has been unearthed today, is used for urban transportation in the city. Even today's view of the road is enough to describe the magnificence of Tarsus 2 years ago.

The open part of the road is now surrounded by wire mesh and is not open to visitors. At least it's protected.

Cleopatra's Gate

The Cleopatra Gate, located on Mersin Street in the city center of Tarsus, is the most important structure and the only gate remaining from the ancient period. The horseshoe-shaped gate has a height of 8.50 meters from the ground and a width of 5.60 meters in the middle. It is said that the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra came to Tarsus to meet with the Roman General Mark Antony, therefore the name of the gate was the Cleopatra Gate.

Donuktaş Roman Temple

Tarsus has been both a trade center and a center of worship for different beliefs throughout history. It is thought that the Donuktaş Roman Temple was a temple that was started to be built after the 2nd century AD but was not completed. The huge rectangular mass with dimensions of 100 meters x 43 meters was built using Roman concrete. Although there is not much left to see today, it is exciting to imagine that there was once a huge temple construction here.

The Eyed Tower Mound

Another historical ruin in Tarsus city center is Gözlü Kule Mound. The mound, which has a diameter of 300 meters, a height of 25 meters and a depth of approximately 12-14 meters, has 33 layers that have survived from the Cilician period.

Tarsus American College

Tarsus American College was named after St. Paul of Tarsus in 1888. Paul's School was founded. After the foundation of the Republic, the school received the title of high school in 1928 and missionary activities were terminated. Tarsus American College is still managed by American and other foreign educators in accordance with the American system.

The purpose of the establishment of the school; He defines it as “leaders for Turkey, leadership for the world”. It is not a coincidence that we see Tarsus American College graduates in the management teams of many companies in Turkey. Me too for a while, TAC (Tarsus American CollegeI had the chance to work with a general manager who graduated from )

It should not be forgotten that this educational institution of international standards, established in Tarsus, underlines the strategic importance of the city.

Nusrat Minelayer

The Nusrat Minelayer, which changed the fate of the Battle of Çanakkale and played a very important role in the victory of 7 March with the 8 mines it placed at the point where enemy ships maneuvered in the Dardanelles on 26-18 March, is now on display in the Çanakkale Park in Tarsus.

After the Nusret Minelayer was retired, it was used as a cargo ship, but when it got old, it was decided to make a razor. Unfortunately, when the campaigns for the rescue of the ship did not work, Tarsus Municipality stepped in and saved the ship. The ship, which was brought to Mersin Port by water, was divided into three parts and brought to Tarsus by truck. The 27-kilometer road to transport the ship took 4.5 hours.  

For the park where the ship is located, there is a martyrdom in memory of the martyrs of Tarsus who lost their lives in the Battle of Çanakkale. Just behind the cemetery Captain İbrahim Hakkı Bey Museum is located. In the museum, there are exhibits on the Battle of Gallipoli, admission is free.

Eshab-i Keyf Cave

One of the most important centers of the "Seven Sleepers" belief, which has a legend in many parts of Anatolia, is located in Tarsus. The Cave of the Eshab-i Kehf, 9-26 of the Qur'an's Surah Al-Kahf. The Seven Sleepers, described in the Verses, slept for 309 years. It is believed to be a cave. According to the surah; Seven young people, Yemliha, Mekselina, Mislina, Mernus, Debernuş, Şazenuş and Kefeştatayyuş, who believed in God and escaped from the cruel and polytheistic king of the time they lived in, and their dog Kıtmir slept in this cave.

12 km from Tarsus. Eshab-ı Keyf Cave, located in the village of Dedeler in the north, is considered sacred for both Christians and Muslims. Entry is free.

Tarsus Waterfall

Tarsus Waterfall is located on the Berdan (El-Beradan) Stream, which means cold water and played an important role in the establishment of the ancient city of Kydnos, namely Tarsus. Located only 4 km from Tarsus city center, the waterfall is a cool breathing point for both those living in the vicinity and those who come to visit. The direction of the river passing through the city center of Tarsus was changed by the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian in order to prevent flooding, and it was diverted to its current location and the area that was the necropolis of the city at that time formed the Tarsus Waterfall.

Although the waters of the Berdan River are considered healing, according to some legends, they are cursed. For example; It is said that Alexander the Great suffered from pneumonia after bathing in Kydnos and died in Syria a short time later, unable to recover.

There are places where you can have breakfast by the river, around the waterfall, and they are very enjoyable. Waterfall entrance is free. I suggest you add the waterfall and the places on the riverside to your Tarsus route.

The Healthy Roman Way

It is known that most of the roads used today were built on the roads in ancient times. The ancient Roman road, which is located on the hills of the Healthy Village of Tarsus and continues for about 2 kilometers, is one of these roads. It is known that this road was built in the 1st century AD and was used until the 4th century. It was one of the important roads connecting the Mediterranean to the Central Anatolia Region in history.

Justinian (Baç) Bridge

Justinian's Bridge, located at the entrance of Tarsus, was built by the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian in the 6th century to protect the city from floods, and the three-eyed bridge was used for vehicle passages until recently. The bridge was also called Baç Bridge, because tax was collected from those who passed over the bridge.

Hidden Paradise Kisecik Canyon

Kisecik Canyon, located in the Kisecik Village of Tarsus, is approximately 42 km from the center of Tarsus. Although the last 5 kilometers of the road is a bit narrow and winding, the beauty you will see at the end of the road makes you forget the difficulty of the road. Due to the beauty of the canyon, the difficulty of transportation and little known, it has started to be known as Hidden Paradise.

There is an area where you can camp in the part of the canyon where the raft trip is made. I'm sure it would be very enjoyable to camp here and swim in the cool waters of the canyon when Adana-Mersin is burning hot in the summer.

It is possible to take a raft ride in the canyon, and the price is a bit uncertain for this privately run raft tour. When I asked for a net price, they said 200 TL per raft and 25 TL per person, but they talked in circles as if it could increase in the summer months and change according to the number of people.

We have come to the end of my explanations about the list of places to visit in Tarsus. If there is a place that you go and like and is not on my list, I would be very happy if you would add it to the comments.

History of Tarsus

If you look at the excavations in Gözlü Kule, the history of Tarsus dates back to BC. It dates back to the 7000s. The city, which had a strategic importance as a center of trade and belief throughout history, lost its power during the Anatolian Seljuk State, the Crusades and the Mamluks, and lost its importance when it was connected to Adana during the Ottoman Period. The fertile Berdan Stream, thanks to its location connecting Cilicia and Central Anatolia, has become a place where everyone from Persians to Romans wanted civilization. The city, which has great importance for Christians as it is the birthplace of St. Paul, still has an important place for faith tourism.

What to Eat and Where to Eat in Tarsus?

Let's come to the most delicious topic; “What to eat in Tarsus, where to eat?”. Tarsus is a place where you can find the best of everything, from kebabs to desserts, from hummus to coffee, in a way that does justice to its geography. You can find what I have tried below, if you have any suggestions, don't forget to add them in the comments!

Tarsusi (Special Style) Coffee

In Tarsus, coffee is served in porcelain or ceramic cups in the form of tea cups, this is called Tarz-ı Hususi or Tarsusi. Thus, the amount of coffee increased a little, so I liked this version a lot. You can find Tarsusi Coffee almost anywhere you sit, if you go to Tarsus, don't forget to ask for your Tarsusi coffee.

Tarsus Kebab – Deymuri Kebab

Although Tarsus Kebab looks similar to Adana Kebab in appearance, it has an important difference: onion and parsley are added to the kebab. I loved this version of Adana, they are like my babies. There are many places to eat Tarsus Kebab in Tarsus, we ate at Deymuri Kebap, it was nice to have a large garden, there is no word for kebab anyway, but after Tarsus Kebab, we ate our fingers in it, don't forget to ask when you go.

Kırkkaşık Bedesten – Boiling and Cleopatra Elixir

I told you about Kırkkaşık Bedesten, there is a small cafe in the covered bazaar where you can drink the local drink of Tarsus, Kaynar and Cleopatra Elixir. Kaynar, which is a beverage especially drunk by women who have just given birth, is served very hot as its name suggests, wait a while before drinking it to avoid burning your tongue. Boiling is made from 7 kinds of spices; ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, clove, galangal, new spring. It is served by adding walnuts and cinnamon to the tea mixture prepared from spices. Perfect for the immune system and flu.

Cleopatra elixir is made with saffron, lemon balm and echinacea. It is served by adding hazelnut, pistachio and carob powder on it.

Orhan Usta Hummus Hall – Hummus

When it comes to this part of our country, it is not possible to return without eating hummus. As someone who loves all kinds of hummus, the hummus we both made and ate at Orhan Usta in Tarsus was absolutely delicious. When serving hummus made in the Lebanese style, butter is melted and added, not olive oil, as in many places. The fat part was too much for me, it may be good if you want oil-free or low-fat. When the chickpeas and tahini were good, the hummus was fresh and delicious, and the pickles on the side were also very good. Even if we eat it now.

Caravan Hummus & Small lahmacun

One of the places where you can eat Tarsus Hummus served hot, Kervan Hummus has been doing this for three generations. The master of Kervan Hummus. There are other hummus shops on the same street. Pickles and turnips come free with hummus. The hummus here was also very good, I love hot hummus, that's for sure.

Another of the things you can eat here with hummus small lahmacun. However, these nuts are not the size you know, they are much smaller. You don't even realize how much you eat because it's small, and it comes with salad and greens for free.

Kunefeci Sadik – Kunefe

If you are a künefe lover, one of the places where you can eat künefe in Tarsus is Künefeci Sadık. Although the nice part for me was that it was light, I don't think it was a Hatay Yusuf Usta künefe, maybe because I'm not a viscous dessert eater anyway...

Ziya Efendi & Görallar – Tarsus Cezeryesi

One of the flavors I discovered late in Tarsus is Görallar Ziya Efendi's cezerye. Forget about all the cezeryes you've eaten so far (there may not be a place I haven't eaten in Adana), this cezerye is legendary friends! Even if you are not going to Tarsus, you should definitely order something online and taste this delicacy.

Selale Lodge – Village Breakfast

If you have spared more than one day in Tarsus and you have time for breakfast, definitely have breakfast by the Berdan Stream. We had breakfast at the place called Selale Otağı, everything was delicious. This breakfast you saw was 70 TL per person, everything was very fresh and delicious to me, accompanied by a view of tea.

Where to Stay in Tarsus?

Elif Hatun Mansion, an old mansion in Tarsus, became our accommodation. It is a nice accommodation option with its old mansion atmosphere, friendly staff, pleasant garden and location within walking distance of the sights in Tarsus city center. However, if you are going to stay here, be sure to review the photos of the room you have booked. I suggest you choose one of the rooms with a balcony or a hammam.

It is a very common practice for old houses and mansions to serve as boutique hotels in Tarsus. st. Paul Hotel, Marco Pasha Hotel, Zorbaz Hotel were other hotels that caught my attention while I was wandering around Tarsus.

What to Buy in Tarsus?

When you come to Tarsus, if you want to buy souvenirs, stop by Kırkkaşık Bedesten, you can find any kind of shawls, plates, magnets you can think of. souvenirYou can find here.

But I don't want souvenirs, if you suggest something else, the first one tahini. The influence of Lebanese cuisine is great in this region, so tahini is the crown jewel of dishes. They also make good tahini to use, so you are at the right place to buy tahini. If you want to buy something sweet, I have two suggestions; the first is cezerye, which is better than I've ever eaten anywhere, and the second is locust delight. cezerye Your address for Görallar Ziya Efendi, locust delight Unfortunately, I did not take note of the name of the place that served us. There is a problem in Kırkkaşık Bedesten, you are the best.
