Turkey s sixth largest city, Adana sits beside the snaking Seyhan River and is surrounded by the rolling hills of the Çukurova region, made famous in Yaşar Kemal s classic novel
Memed, My Hawk.
It s best known as home to Turkey s Adana kebab, and foodies will probably put sampling this dish in the city s restaurants at the top of their things to do list while in town. This city, though, has much more to offer travelers.
The hinterland is scattered with archaeological sites and historic tourist attractions making Adana one of the best places to visit and base yourself. From here, you can head out and explore Turkey s eastern Mediterranean region.

A crossroads for countless cultures since the agricultural revolution in around 10,000 BCE, Anatolia, an area of land that now falls within modern Turkey, has provided archaeologists with deep insight into how human societies developed at the dawn of civilisation.
One important feature that reoccurs across the ages is the fundamental role women played in society from the late Stone Age, around 12,000 years ago, into the Bronze Age, an era marked by social and economic complexity and the increased use of complex metal alloys, around 5,000 years ago.
There is evidence of mother goddess cults in Anatolia dating back 9,000 years, but iconographic patterns support the idea that the worship of female deities was widely practised across Asia Minor much earlier.
