You might be put off by the drive in -- can this road really lead to a major tourist attraction, but don't give up. The hike up is absolutely stunning. You can stumble about the ruins but make sure you don't have vertigo or fear of heights. It is sad to see the amount of trash and vandalism and graffiti everywhere but the site is so overwhelmingly gorgeous you can forget it for a bit.

Taşköprü is 310m in length made of solid stone. ( Taskopru simply means Stone Bridge). It is a Bridge built during the Roman era, spanning the River Seyhan in Adana that was probably built in the first half of the second century AD. The bridge was a key link in ancient trade routes from the Mediterranean Sea to Anatolia and Persia. The bridge was closed in 2007, and is one of the oldest bridges in the world open to motorised vehicles. Since 2007 it has only allowed pedestrians on it, and now hosts social and cultural events like musicians and small sales market stalls. Among the names used for the bridge during its history are the Saros Bridge, the Bridge of Justinian, the al-Walid Bridge and Taşköprü. Its definetly worth seeing while in Adana.

This is a wonderful fortress that has been partially restored. The walk starts from the parking lot with paved stones (there’s a cafe here). The easy part soon stops and the path gets rougher but easily manageable. As you go higher and approach the fortress, the path quickly deteriorates. It’s no longer a path. Some difficult rocking climbing is required through this upper section. Getting on all fours will be necessary for many people. When you come back down you’ll likely be sitting and sliding done these same rocks. Some of these rocks are very smooth from lots of use. The climbing required through this section makes Termossos look like a walk in the park. However, we did see older tourists make it up using all fours and down sitting and sliding. There’s more difficult walking once inside the fortress since some of the paths that wind their way around are not in good condition. The panoramas from the top are a bit disappointing due to lots plastic covered vegetable farming and a big rock quarry cluttering the views. The best views of the fortress are on the way up before the bad part starts and from the road below as you approach the parking area.

The design and interior of Sabanci Merkez Camii in Adana is similar with Blue Mosque in Istanbul. The advantage of visiting this masjid compared to the more popular Blue Mosque is less visitor in this masjid making it much more comfortable to enjoy the beautiful interior and surrounding.

The Ulu Cami in Adana is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The mosque building is beautiful and the courtyard opposite where the medressa was hasf a garden where you can sit and have some tea. The mosque is very close to the old clock tower and the area has a wide variety of shops selling local produce and various other things. We walked from Inonu Park in the centre of Adana. Definitely worth a visit when you are in Adana.
