Evening in Karataş: The Calm Face of the Mediterranean
Karataş, Adana’s gateway to the sea, offers a calm away from the crowds: a salty breeze and a shore without end.


Karataş, Adana’s gateway to the sea, offers a calm away from the crowds: a salty breeze and a shore without end.

Rising by the Seyhan, the minarets form modern Adana’s most recognizable skyline.

An hour from the heat of the plain await pine-scented highlands and cool streams.

A bridge carrying us from Rome to today, and the river that embraces it. Adana’s heart beats by the water.

On the city’s oldest hill, a rhythm of life carried on in the shade of stone houses.

Filled with exhibitions, concerts and talks, the new season enlivens the city’s cultural calendar.

The Mediterranean heat is not an obstacle but a teacher. In Adana, the sun sets the rhythm of the day.
