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.
