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.

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 great clock tower is an iconic spot in Adana and certainly allows the visitors Instagram worthy pictures. For a more picturesque moment I would recommend alittle later hours, when the ancient bazar has relatively closed down and the street lights are mostly enlightening the area. It’s famously known to be one of the tallest in Turkey. (At least that was what was written in the magazine advert) But this bazar is one of the oldest and has many shops ranging from weaponry (yes weaponry, quite shocking) to tobacco products and magnets. The bazar also hosts many famous kebab places and I would definitely recommend the visitors to try those. It’s very close to the authentic Turkish spa (Hamam) , which quite complement the clock at the background and is opposite to a small park. I would recommend the visitors to enter with a car not only because the roads are narrow, but you wouldn’t find spot to park comfortably. Also, On foot would definitely help to discover more than with a car.

First off - the descriptions on how to get there vary quite a bit, so here's the GPS coordinates of the main canyon entrance: 37.2339444, 35.0153333 Beware that the canyon might be closed depending on the weather and the stone damage situation. If it is closed, I suggest as plan B: Drive on to the Varda (German) bridge (37.243182, 34.976796) for a beautiful view. From there, head over to Yerköprü Recreation and Picnic Area (37.279694, 34.998290) where there's a decent restaurant to take a break. From there, cross the little pedestrian bridge over the river and you can hike on a gravel road along the river into the canyon. While not as scenic as the main canyon, it's nevertheless a nice hike and you can see some nice rock formations and dip your toes into the water (swimming is forbidden, though). Remember that you're in the Taurus mountains and that the weather can change very quickly.
