OVERVIEW
Situated in the middle of the Cukurova Plain (Cilician Plain), Adana is the fourth largest city of Turkey and a fertile agricultural area. The city's name comes from mythology: it is said to have been founded by Adanus, the son of Kronus (God of Weather).
Some places of interest include the 16th century Great Mosque (Ulu Camii), the Yag or Eski Mosque, the Hasan Aga Mosque, Saat Kulesi (the clock-tower) built in 1882, an old Covered Bazaar, Bedesten and Arasta. Built as a church by the Crusaders, now the Ethnographical Museum contains Turkish carpets, swords, manuscript books and tombstones.
Adana is also famous for its delicious Adana Kebap. There are many tea houses and restaurants alongside the Seyhan Dam and Lake.
Other places worth visiting are: Misis Antique Museum, on the caravan route that came from China, India and Persia; Yilanlikal, ruins of a fortress near the River Ceyhan; Dilekkaya, an important Roman Byzantine city and Karatepe National Park, where the remains of the summer residence of King Asitawada, tablets of Hittite and Phoenician inscriptions can be found. Visitors can picnick or rest in the meadows of Burucek, Tekir, Horzum and Zorkum.
