Mediterranean coast town in Mersin Province, Türkiye, where the shoreline is clean enough to support a colony of the critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal. The ruins of the ancient city of Nagidos sit on Paşabeleni Hill in the town centre, with excavations confirming Hellenistic-era trade links to Alexandria, Samos, Cyprus, Rhodes, and Ephesus. The Taurus Mountains rise close behind the town, and the local economy runs on banana and strawberry farming alongside fishing.
