We meet at Antalya Airport at 05:00 in the morning and start our trip with the Sun Express 06:45 Adana flight. We start our Adana city tour after a short breakfast break with the information and explanations of our guide, by getting into our vehicle waiting for us at Adana Airport. First we see the Great Clock Tower made of cut stones. The clock tower, which is 32 meters long, started to be built in 1881, when Ziya Pasha was in office, and was completed the next year, when Abidin Pasha was on duty. When it was first built, it aimed to inform the public about the time by making a sound that could be heard everywhere at the beginning of the hour. . Built on very solid foundations, the tower managed to remain intact despite all the destruction in the Adana earthquake in 1998. Sabancı Central Mosque, which is the largest mosque in the Balkans and the Middle East and was built with the joint work of the Turkish Religious Foundation and the Sabancı Foundation, is one of the most visited spots in the region. The construction of the mosque, whose property rights belong to the Adana Religious Affairs Foundation, started in 1998 and was put into service after 10 years of work. This mosque, which has become the symbolic structure of Adana, has a total of 6 minarets. After seeing this mosque, which has a height that can be seen from anywhere, we see the Stone Bridge, formerly known as the Justinianus Bridge, which divides the city into two on the Adana Seyhan River. According to the official information in the inscription in the Adana Museum, the bridge, which is known to have been built by the Architect Auxentios in the 4th century, has maintained its solidity since the first day it was built; It is 319 meters long and 13 meters high. After the photo break on the bridge, which is known to be the oldest bridge in use in the world, which was closed to vehicle traffic after the 2000s, we take our lunch, meet our vehicle, finish our tour in Adana and set off for Hatay. We reach Hatay by going to Belen Pass via Iskenderun and watching the insatiable view of Soğuk Oluk, Amik Plain and Amanos Mountains. The first mosque built within the borders of Anatolia and the mosque of Hz. We visit the Habib-i Neccar Mosque, which is the only mosque in the world that is an example of tolerance and is named after a person who believes in Jesus. During our walk towards the Long Bazaar, we will be able to see the Antakya Catholic Church and then the Antakya Jewish Synagogue in panoramic view, among the narrow flowered streets.
