About Ichel About Ichel

Mersin is called a Turkish paradise, since quite recently almost no tourists from Europe and Russia came here; only Turks coming from all over the country vacationed here. Although Turkey has many beautiful places, the feelings of unity with nature and peace here are somehow inexplicable and special.

Tourists come here to enjoy the aroma of palm alleys, taste inexpensive traditional dishes made from freshly caught fish in cozy local restaurants, and stroll along the embankment.
