From Mersin
Discover the vibrant city of Adana on this relaxed, fully guided day tour from Mersin. This private daily excursion takes you east along the Mediterranean coast to one of Turkey's most historic and flavourful cities, combining iconic landmarks, riverside scenery and the country's most famous kebab — all in one easy Mersin day trip.
Adana is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the region, and its most recognisable symbol is Taskopru, the arched stone bridge that has carried travellers across the Seyhan River for centuries. Just nearby rises the Sabanci Merkez Cami, whose grand scale and elegant riverside setting make it one of the most impressive modern mosques in the country and a highlight of any Adana daily tour.
No visit to Adana would be complete without its world-renowned cuisine. The city gave its name to the famous Adana kebab, prepared according to strict tradition using only male lamb meat, red bell peppers and tail fat, minced together by hand and grilled over charcoal. Tasting it in its hometown is an experience in itself, and lunch is included in this day tour.
Throughout the day you will travel in a fully air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle with a professional English-speaking guide, with hotel pick-up and drop-off in Mersin included. The pace is relaxed and suitable for all ages, making this daily excursion an ideal way to add Adana's history, scenery and flavours to your stay on the Mediterranean coast.

Mersin – Adana – Mersin Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Mersin, followed by a comfortable drive east to Adana in a fully air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle. On arrival, your professional English-speaking guide will introduce you to the city's most famous landmark, Taskopru — the arched stone bridge that has spanned the Seyhan River since ancient times and remains one of the oldest bridges still in use anywhere in the world. You will then visit the magnificent Sabanci Merkez Cami (Sabanci Central Mosque), one of Turkey's largest mosques, admired for its grand domes, soaring minarets and beautiful riverside position.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
