Why the Mersin coast?

The Mersin stretch of the Mediterranean is where the Taurus Mountains meet the sea, a coastline full of coves and historic ruins. Between Alanya and Silifke, this shore is far quieter than the big resort areas.

Yanışlı Bay is surrounded by pine forest, with clear water and views of the Taurus Mountains. It is ideal if you want to escape the crowds without giving up all-inclusive comfort.
