Mersin is 20 km inland from Mediterranean Sea. It has hosted various nations throughout the history. The city welcomes the volunteers with its beautiful nature, historical monuments, ruins from antique and middle ages and modern structures of a developing city. Cleopatra´s Gate, church of St. Paul, architectural works from Ottoman periods and early Republic of Turkey are some of the most remarkable features of the city. Local cuisine includes sandwich with grilled meats wrapped in flat bread named tantuni, a dessert made by carrot called cezerye and a sour drink named salgam.
