Adana, Turkey's 4th
largest city, is a fast-growing
agricultural and industrial boom
town, the commercial
capital of the eastern Mediterranean
coast (map).
Adana (AH-dah-nah, pop. 2 million)
is hardly a tourist mecca: high
heat and humidity in summer, swirling
traffic, and limited sights keep it
that way even though it has a good
selection of hotels (mostly
for business travelers).
It is an important transport point,
however, and if you find yourself spending
the night, visit the 16th-century Ulu
Cami (Great Mosque), the Ethnography
Museum set up in a sweet little Crusader
church, the Regional Museum with
lots of good Roman artifacts,
and the Taş Köprü (Stone
Bridge) built
by Roman emperor Hadrian (117-38 AD)
over the Seyhan River :

The Merkez
Camii (Central
Mosque) and Adana

Köprü bridge

İncirlik (EEN-jeer-leek) Air
Base is the big joint
Turkish-US air force facility a
few kilometers east of the center
of Adana.
Right by the Taş Köprü on
the east bank of the Seyhan River (map)
is the Adana
HiltonSA Hotel.
It's right in the center and
moderately priced for
the value you receive. Click
