Visit Namrun (Camliyayla)-Sebil Yayla in Mersin — and photograph it.
Explore the Ancient City of Korykos
Two castles face each other: one on land, one on an islet two hundred metres offshore. A chain is said to have been strung between them. The sea castle, known as the Maiden's Castle, is reached by boat or by swimming. Photograph both in one frame.
Tour Mamure Castle in Anamur
Mamure's entrance in use today is not its original gate. The old gate, between two square towers north of the inner courtyard, has lost its bridge across the moat. From the open visitor route, study the gate and moat. Photograph a defensive detail and note how people once entered.
