A city that has such an apartment complex is Mersin Cesmeli on
the southern coast of Turkey.
Not just for blue seas and the beautiful weather, Mersin is also
known for the many fun things a tourist can do for fun. There
are many tours, and fun things to do. For example the Heaven and
Hell Tour which visits some of the cavas that bear the same name.
You leave at 9 am to visit the Heaven and Hell Caves, after which
another cave is on the program, which has the somewhat medical
name: the asthma caves. Then it is off to the Akyar or white rocks;
a real treat for the eyes. Lunch is included in this tour and
after lunch you're off to some mosaic museums in Narlikuyu. The
day ends with a visit to the Kizkalesi, also named the Maiden's
Castle.
After a day of natural wonders it is time to see some human history.
The Uzuncaburc Tour for example gives you the chance to visit
the Cambazli church and the Olba (aqueduct.) Uzuncaburc was given
city status and renamed to Diocaesarea in 72 AD and in the area
you can visit the the Zeus Olbios temple, amfitheater, Tyche temple,
city- and parade port, Hellenistic Tower. In the end of the day
you will return to your hotel via Isikkale and Karakabakli, 2
old roman establishments.
Back to nature with a bird tour! The Bird Paraidid Tour for example
is great fun if you love the flying inhabitants of Mersin Cesmeli
and its surroundings. One tip is to go with the early tour that
starts at 7 am already to make sure all birds are still in the
mood to show of their beauty. The walk takes about 4 hours and
lunch is included. Obviously it is smart to wear good shoes and
it is also advised to bring water as there are no places to buy
drinks during the walk. After the walk a lunch is included.
Perhaps by now you need a day to rest and enjoy a day at the pool
of the apartment complex. But there are more tours and excursions
available around Mersin and they're too good to pass. The Alahan
Convent Tour could be your next excursion. A visit to the Frederick
Barbarossa Monument at the Göksu river for example is an excellent
option, followed by a stop at the bridge over the Göksu to appreciate
the beautiful panorama. This is a great place to take some wonderful
pictures. (with or without you in the foreground) The day isn't
over at this time. Next on the program is a lunch in the city
Mut, which is famous for its mosque from the time of the Seldjoeken
and the Pasha tombe. Then you get the chance to visit a park that
contains trees of over 300 years old. The day ends with a visit
to a typical Turkish herbs and spices market.
The ruins of Basilicas (Kanli Divane) from Hellenistic, Roman
and Byzantine periods can be visited with the Kanli Divane Tour,
which starts at 9 am. Also on the program is Ayas a ruin of an
amphitheatre. Korykos, the vestiges of what in former days was
the village of Kizkalesi is next on the program followed by a
lunch in the same village.
Let's go on with a relaxing Pick nick Tour. There are 2 locations
for this pick nick, the Kayacik Valley and Akyar. The choice of
which of these 2 locations to go to, depends mostly on the weather.
After the pick nick the rest of the day can be enjoyed at the
apartment complex, which by now should be your favorite resting
place.
Are you still up for more walking and fun?
Then lets continue with a mountain walking tour through some mountain
villages and by the Göksu river. You will get to do a firm walk
and visit some authentic Turkisch mountain villages and get a
taste of the rural and country life of Turkey. The tour ends with
a typical Turkish rural meal in one of the villages.
Last but not least, for the real hunters out there, we can on
a Boar Hunt Tour in the woods of Silifke. The tour is more expensive,
but is guided by an experienced hunter and guns and ammunition
are provided. You will have to walk a lot during this tour though,
most likely because the boars don't agree much with your plans
for that day.
Mersin Cesmeli and its surroundings are an exiting, adventurous
place to spend your vacation. The numerous excursions and activities
available keep every active vacationer busy, but at the same time
the relaxation seeker can have just as much fun in the apartment
complex.
