Learn more about hotels in Mersin

Mersin is a vital point of connection along the Mediterranean coastline of Turkey, boasting the country's largest seaport. More than a bustling port city, it's also dripping in rich history, with relics of long-ago civilisations, including Hittites, Assyrians and Greeks, adding depth and intrigue to its modern progressiveness. Its four distinct districts – Akdeniz, Mezitli, Toroslar, and Yenişehir – each brims with its own unique character and charm.

This city, named after the plentiful aromatic Myrsine plant, adds to the country's fertile belt with its flourishing citrus and cotton production. The local cuisine bears testimony to this with dishes like tantuni, a local specialty. For the culturally inclined, Mersin offers an array of attractions from its own State Opera and Ballet to the beloved international music festival.

Adana, Turkey's fifth-largest city, is just a train ride away, while the charming city of Tarsus — known for its rich biblical history and the Cleopatra Gate — is also within reach. Or, take the ferry across to Famagusta in Northern Cyprus to savour another facet of Mediterranean life. Replete with alluring attractions, Mersin truly is a world within a city.

When to visit Mersin

From sun-soaked summers to balmy winters, Mersin's climate suits visitors year-round. Bask in the heat during the peak summer months of July, August and September, when temperatures can soar up to a warm 33.8°C. These months also see lower chances of rain, making it perfect for beach lovers craving a suntan.

If you prefer cooler, comfortably humid weather, consider visiting in November. The soft Mediterranean breeze, lowest in August and strongest in June and July, complements the delightful weather. If avoiding the hustle and bustle of high tourist activity is your preference, December comes with the added bonus of lower prices for accommodation and flights.

However, vigilant travel is advised, drawing attention to local advisories and warnings. With its year-round appeal and the added bonus of less frequent snow, Mersin is a promising option for an unforgettable Mediterranean escape.
