Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Hatay Province, Turkish Mediterranean Coast
Hatay Province (Turkish: Hatay ili, pronounced [ˈhataj]) is a province in southern Turkey, on the eastern Mediterranean coast. The administrative capital is Antakya (Antioch), and the other major city in the province is the port city of İskenderun (Alexandretta). It is bordered by Syria to the south and east and the Turkish provinces of Adana and Osmaniye to the north. The province is part of Çukurova (Cilicia), a geographical, economical and cultural region that covers the provinces of Mersin, Adana, Osmaniye, and Hatay. There are border crossing points with Syria in the district of Yayladağı and at Cilvegözü in the district of Reyhanlı. Sovereignty over the province remains disputed with neighbouring Syria, which claims that the province was separated from itself against the stipulations of the French Mandate of Syria in the years following Syria's independence from the Ottoman Empire after World War I. Although the two countries have remained generally peaceful in their dispute over the territory, Syria has never formally renounced its claims to it.

Antioch as called in the ancient times, has been here an important city since 300 BC. For centuries it has been one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire and it was also an influential city at the early years of Christianity. Since than many different civilizations lived here and they all left a trace. Of course, very little have remained from those days, after all those wars and earthquakes. Yet, you can feel the history in the air. Strolling in the streets, tasting local food here and there, smelling those oriental smells, all is very mystical. Without seeing the old part of Antakya, which is in fact the center of the city, the trip to Antakya would be incomplete.
