Yumurtalık
Spend a half‑day on the beach and a night in town; one night is enough to see the castles, lagoon and enjoy the sea.
Yumurtalık is a small Mediterranean resort on the Cilician Plains, 40 km southeast of Adana. The town is walkable, with a beach strip, historic castles and a nearby nature lagoon. One night covers the main sights and a relaxed beach day.
