Cultural Tourism Initiative from Mersin Metropolitan Municipality
Mersin Metropolitan Municipality is carrying the city's historical heritage and local culture into the future with sustainable tourism projects extending from the city center to Anamur.
Mersin Metropolitan Municipality is implementing numerous projects across a wide area from the city center to Anamur in line with a sustainable tourism approach. While historical structures are being transformed into museums, local production is also supported through rural tourism initiatives.
The City's Tourism Potential
With its history, coastline, natural beauties, gastronomy, and cultural diversity, Mersin is strengthening its goal of ranking among Turkey's important tourism cities day by day.
Wide Range of Works
Through the Tourism and Promotion Branch Office affiliated with the Mersin Metropolitan Municipality Department of Culture, Art and Social Affairs, a wide range of works is carried out, from the preservation of the city's historical heritage to the diversification of tourism destinations.
Projects in the City Center
While the project to transform the Stone Building into the City Museum continues in the city center, Karamancılar Mansion was made functional as the Mersin Culinary Culture House through restoration works, and the Butcher's Bazaar Project was initiated.
Rural Development and Village Projects
It was reported that local production is supported through the 'Our Village Workshop' and 'Model Villages' projects integrated with rural development. In this context, the Uzuncaburç Archeo-village project and geo-village works in Mut Çömelek Neighborhood stand out.
Keeping Cultural Heritage Alive
While projects such as keeping the Cretan culture alive in Toroslar Hamzabeyli and Melemez Village make significant contributions to the region's tourism, each district is addressed with its unique aspects.
