Top Attractions in Mersin
💡 Buy a fresh orange juice from the man with a cart near the south entrance—it's 5 TL and far better than the bottled stuff.
💡 Look for the restored Taş Bina (Stone Building) on İsmet Paşa Boulevard; it's free to enter the courtyard and see the original wooden ceilings.
💡 The rooftop terrace has a cafe with sea views and is free to enter even if you skip the galleries. Ask the guard nicely.
💡 Go at dusk for the best light and fewer crowds. The fish restaurants at the far end are pricey, but a simit from a street cart costs pocket change.
💡 The staff often let you wander the ground-floor garden free—check the stone inscriptions and olive presses there.
