Our first stop in Tarsus is to visit the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, which holds great significance in both Islam and Christianity.
- We visit the cave, where it is believed that seven individuals, along with their dog, were sheltered for three centuries from the persecution of idolaters, as mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Kahf. Next, we head to the Tarsus Waterfall, formed by the high flow of the Berdan (Kydnos) River, and enjoy its therapeutic sounds before moving on to our bus.

Following this, we visit the tomb of Prophet Daniel, who delivered the Jews from Babylonian captivity, along with the mosque at the site. We also explore the Forty Spoons Bedesten, which was previously known as the White Bazaar, and take a break for shopping. Then we visit the well of St. Paul, one of the most important saints in Christianity, which has been declared a pilgrimage site, and view sections that have survived since ancient times, receiving information from our guide. After a walking tour among the old streets and houses of Tarsus, we take some free time for tasting and shopping for local products before heading to a famous tantuni place for lunch. After our meal, we move on to the Nusrat Mine Ship, which played a significant role in changing the fate of the Gallipoli naval battles.
- The Nusrat Ship, which earned the title of "The World's Most Famous Mine Ship" due to its impact on the war on March 18, 1915, was sold to a private company in 1962 and sank off Mersin in 1990. It was rescued in 1999 and brought to Tarsus in three pieces and opened for visitors in 2003. After touring the Nusrat Mine Ship Museum, we board our bus, carrying the scent of oranges as we begin our journey back to Istanbul.
