The view of the falls is fantastic.. You definitely must see and take pictures when you're in adana or mersin it takes only 30 to 40 minutes to get there by car.

The view and location are very nice. It would be much better if they could organize the tables and seating a little more. The prices are a little high.

Tarsus Şelalesi is a waterfall located in Mersin, Turkey. It is a popular tourist attraction in the region, known for its picturesque setting and natural beauty. The waterfall is located in the Tarsus district of Mersin, and it is surrounded by dense forests and lush vegetation. It is fed by the Berdan River, which flows down from the mountains and through the forests before plunging over the edge of the waterfall. The waterfall is approximately 30 meters tall, and it is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking, and hiking. There are also several restaurants and cafes located near the waterfall, offering a range of local dishes and refreshments.

You might get lost looking for it but follow the water. Beautiful and in the middle of the city.. small but still a breath of fresh air and great for down time or picnics

I saw many videos about the waterfall of tarsus on u tube and others sites that shows a huge waterfall but at the moment i got there i was disappointed cuz it's wasn't as i was expecting it would be

The Restaurant next to the waterfall has good food to offer and tastes good. The waterfall does look really nice and is a good place for people, who like to be close to Nature, besides that it isnt such a big place, but definetly worth seeing.

Very beautiful watercolor, nice restaurants where u can appreciate the view while enjoy good food.

Tarsu Shopping Mall is a modern and comfortable place to spend time in Tarsus. It has a good variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants, with a clean and spacious design. I bought a gift for my friend here and also treated myself at U.S. Polo it was such a pleasant shopping experience. A perfect place to relax, shop, or enjoy a coffee indoors.

It is nice, quite and cosy shopping mall. It is big enough that all shops can be visited in a short time. Located on main road.

Very nice mall

This shopping mall is famous because of original Nike Outlet, where you can quality find Nike stuff for low price.

Nice place. Its a litle shopping center.

Loosing most of the important shops (like Network) after the economical chrisis, the mall is also loosing its attraction.

The most worst place to eat something so far...

Prophet Daniel rests in peace at Tarsus. He was from sons of Israel and lived in Jerusalem. He had been known as prophet of fertility or rain-maker. He was called upon duty when a severe draught hit Tarsus in order to pray for rain fall. He died at Tarsus during that journey. After many years Islamic forces conquered the city and they found his skeleton and a finger with a ring. Danyal identity is discovered from that ring with figure of two lions and a kid in between. His body re-buried hidden so that his grave could not be detected and therefore it was protected against theft of grave diggers stealing it. This was a precaution taken by Omer the Caliph.

Very well organised....

One of the three tombs on prophet Daniel claimed to be found in the whole world. This is an hystorical site but most probably with no connection with prophet Daniel and above there is a mosque. If you are in the area it is worth to visit.

I recommend visiting it.

In this place, probably, buried Saint Prophet Daniel. You can see the ruins of old sanctuary under the glass platform. Today is a mosque.

Very nice

When Cleopatra came to Tarsus to meet her lover Mark Antony, they were welcomed with a great ceremony in Gözlükule port and it is said that they came to the city from this gate, built during the Byzantine Period. It’s a historical landmark but there’s not much to see here. The gate is in the middle of a roundabout on the busy streets and free of cost to visit. It would be wonderful if the responsible authority added a signboard detailing its historical significance near the gate. Definitely worth paying a visit and taking some pictures while in Tarsus!

A fascinating historical gate connected with the legendary Cleopatra. Even though only one part remains, it gives a real sense of Tarsus’s ancient past. A quick but meaningful stop.

(Info taken from Wikipedia)Tarsus was enclosed by a pair of concentric defense walls . According to 17th century-Turkish traveler Evliya Çelebi, there were three gates; a mountain gate to Toros Mountains in the north, a port gate to the Mediterranean coastline in the south and the Adana Gate to the neighbouring city of Adana in the east.[1] In 1835, the walls were demolished by Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, following the Egyptian–Ottoman War of 1831–1833.[2] Only the port gate survived up to the present time, albeit because of alluvial deposits from the rivers Berdan and Seyhan, the coastline is currently 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of the port gate. Cleopatra entered Tarsus via the port gate.[3] The history of the gate after Cleopatra is not documented, but by analyzing the building stones and the cement, it is usually believed that the original gate was rebuilt during the Middle Ages, either by the Byzantine Empire or by the Abbasids. The popular name of the gate was Kancık Kapı (feminine gate) during the late Ottoman period. However, from the early 20th century, the name Cleopatra kapısı ("Cleopatra's Gate") replaced the former name.

Cleopatra came to Tarsus in 41 BCE, answering the call of the Roman statesman, Mark Antony. His intention was to turn her into a valuable ally in the planned military invasion of the Parthian Empire. Cleopatra initially responded to the invitation in a reluctant manner, delaying the trip to Tarsus. Her strategy was to show that the queen does not come at the beck and call. Eventually, she came to Tarsus, turning her arrival into a gigantic spectacle. She sailed from the coast upstream Cydnus, now known as the Berdan Çayı. Her barge covered with gold plates, it was equipped with silver oars and purple sails. The ship was filled with flowers and liberally sprinkled with exotic perfumes. Cleopatra herself was dressed as the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Mark Antony could not resist the charms of the queen. Therefore, in addition to gaining a powerful ally in the war that soon erupted between him and Octavian, he also became her lover. By analysing the stones and the cement used in the construction of the Cleopatra's Gate, it is assumed that the original gate was rebuilt during the Middle Ages. It is not clear whether the reconstruction was ordered by the emperors of Byzantium or the rulers of the Abbasid dynasty. Tarsus city walls were demolished in 1835, on the orders of Ibrahim Pasha, the governor of Egypt. As a result of the First Ottoman-Egyptian War, waged in the years 1831-1833, the areas of Syria and Adana, including Tarsus, came under Egyptian control. The Port Gate is one of the few parts of the ramparts of Tarsus, which has been preserved to our times.

It would be great if they added more historical information on a sign near the gate to show it's significance. It's a beautiful gate, and not far from the center, but it is in the middle of a busy road.

Cleopatra Gate stands proudly in the middle of a bustling street, a symbol of Tarsus's legendary past. While its name evokes images of the iconic queen herself, a quick history lesson reveals the gate you see today is a much younger.

In the middle of the road. Hard to stop because of traffic. Nice to see.

Beautiful nature # quiet # family U should bring all your stuff with u because no markets around

It is a very nice place for picnicking. Place is very well structured, the only problem is the cleaness of toilets.

Very nice place

It's good place but not it's clean

Nice place nature wise Needs a lot of care to be attractive

Nice there but the people are like unfashionable. They are looking at girls like maniac

Nice waterfall and very green picnic area

I recommend it, especially for families! It is a large state zoo with various species of animals. Admission in 2024 was TL 15 for adults and free for children. The zoo is large, interesting, and well maintained. It is better to take a stroller or baby slings with you. It will take more than 1.5 hours.

Tersus Hayvan Parkı, nestled in the heart of nature, offers an immersive wildlife experience for visitors. Roaming through lush landscapes, you'll encounter a diverse array of animals, from majestic Lions to playful meerkats. The park's thoughtful design allows for up-close interactions, creating unforgettable moments. With well-maintained habitats and knowledgeable staff, Tersus Hayvan Parkı is a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking a harmonious blend of conservation and education.

Great place and various types of animals, but you need to take nose cover if it is hot. The staff are very friendly. Entrance fees are low (5 for adult and 2 for students) I think that Tarsus municipal should do some maintaining to the road, it is rather bad.

U can spend 3 to 4 hours there , suitable for children Clean and well organised Ticket price 15 tl There are toilets and stalls selling food

Amaizing zoo for kuds and family very large spaces and you can see all wild animals and birds

Very nice and beautiful zoo. Good for family and friends. Very cheap ticket. The most important thing that is odorless and very clean.

Nice zoo. Quite a few animals. Didn't see the lions. It was a really hot day and the animals were mostly sleeping but it was still a good visit. Reasonable entry and refreshments available.

Big mac ✌👍

(Translated by Google) There can't be such an indifferent employee, I order food, he doesn't tell me inside, he didn't have a name badge anyway, I waited for half an hour, this can't be such nonsense.

(Translated by Google) I am complaining about your company in McDonald's Tarsus shopping mall. My order, which I placed through Trendyol, arrived with a missing and wrong product. I reached out to you and you told me to contact the place. You are the one who sent the missing item. Why did you send my order incompletely and incorrectly? Trendyol courier brought my order. McDonald's courier, that is, you prepared and prepared it. You sent it, when you have cameras that can monitor 24 hours a day and you can solve the problem, why do you not think institutionally and use INTERPRETIVE reasons? This is not your father's workplace. (Original) McDonald's Tarsus avm içindeki firmanızdan şikayetçiyim trendyol aracılığı ile vermiş olduğum siparişim Eksik ve yanlış ürün geldi..sizlere ulaştım bana sipariş verdiniz yerle görüşün dediniz..eksik gönderen sizsiniz benim siparişimi neden eksik ve yanlış gönderdiniz..siparişimi trendyol kurye getirmesi McDonald's kurye yani siz hazırlayıp gönderdiniz 24 saat izleyebilen kameralarınız varken ve sorunu siz çözebilecekken neden kurumsal düşünmeyip YORUMSAL sebepler sürüyorsunuz..orası sizin babanızı iş yeri deyil..benim hakkımı yediniz..kimse sipariş vermesin KESİNLİKLE benden uyarması

(Translated by Google) We were a little late, we just said, good luck, we were going to order food, we thought the service was more open, I think he was an official, he had a harsh attitude, we closed the food safe, he said we are closed, he didn't even look at us, turned his back, thanked us, good luck, and without letting us finish our words, he was treated as if we were begging with a lot of alpha crowd. He did it, it's really a shame to be entrusted to such people. (Original) Biz biraz geç kaldık sadece dedikki kolay gelsin yemek sipariş vercektik servise daha açık olduğunu düşündük sanırım yetkili biriydi sert bı tavir yok yemek kasayı kapattık kapaliyiz dedi yüzümüze dahi bakmayip sırtını dönerek bı kolay gelsin teşekkür edip sözümüzü bitirmemize müsade etmeden fazla alf kalabalığı ile sanki dileniyormusuz gibi muamele yaptı gerçekten çok ayıp böyle insanlara emanet edilmesi

The portions here are so big especially the minced meat kebap. One portion is enough for two people, but taste wise, I would say it was average. For a higher than average price, you would expect a different flavor, but it was quite average I can say. The findik lahmacun was delicious and the side dishes of salads were fresh. The place itself is quite small indoors and loud so you should sit outside if you can. Overall, an acceptable or okay experience but it could have been better in terms of flavors. The location is very central and close to multiple historical sites.

One of the best places in Tarsus for a good Turkish meal. The best Adana kebap I've ever had

Enfess enfess enfesss

Great place for findik lahmecun and kebap. Very friendly service too.

Nice

(Translated by Google) If you're on a culinary journey, this is a must-visit! The small lahmacun and adana are excellent. The adana has a great lamb content, melting in your mouth. The lahmacun is made with Adana-style ground meat, which is delicious and a generous portion. The side dishes aren't plentiful, but they're more than adequate. (Original) Eğer bir lezzet turuna çıktıysanız mutlaka uğramanız gereken yerlerden biri! Küçük lahmacun ve adanası mükemmel. Adanasında kuzu oranı çok iyi, ağızda dağılıyor. Lahmacuna Adana yapılan kıymadan koyuluyor, çok lezzetli ve bir porsiyonu fazlasıyla doyurucu. Yanına gelen ikramlar çok değil ama yeterli.

(Translated by Google) The staff was friendly and helpful, and the treats were fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We loved the salad. We ordered the cubed and hazelnut lahmacun. The normal portion is 10, but we ordered four to taste. Well done! It was crispy and delicious. The location is simple but still clean. The prices are steep! (Original) Elemanların hizmetleri samimi ve iyidi, İkramları taze, bol ve lezzetliydi. Salatasını çok beğendik. Biz kuşbaşı ve fındık lahmacun sipariş verdik, normal porsiyon 10 tane biz ama tadımlık dört istedik ellerine sağlık, çıtır çıtır ve güzel di. Lokasyonu basit ama gene den temiz. Fiyatlar tuzlu!

A nice spot by the waterfall and I came in summer to cool off on a hot day, but they didn’t allow us to sit by the waterfall because they said all the tables were reserved. I sat for 2 hours and 1 table stayed empty the whole time. I don’t mind sitting somewhere else but the problem is if you sit on the other side, it is so hot and there aren’t enough fans. So I was eating the food and sweating and this made me leave quickly right after eating. Now about the food, lahmacun and the bread were so fresh and delicious. The chicken and Ali Nazik were also delicious but I wouldn’t recommend the hummus at all! The staff was so busy but they delivered the food quickly and they tried to help with the heat but as I said the fans weren’t enough. I think visiting towards the evening or during winter could be a more enjoyable experience.

Every thing very good, clean and nice,the wc is very clean, perfect service,i have just one note, the breakfast menu is poor it can be beter, thanks a lot.

Had 2 meals at the restaurant and both meals were great especially the garlic butter chicken and price was good thanks

It is the worst restaurant I ever went to they didn’t give as the wi fi and we didn’t ask for tea and we need to pay for it and food is not as good we think and it is on of expensive restaurant I ever went and food is less and to enter to bathroom you need to pay 1 lr to enter if can I give the a 0 is to Mach never go there I don’t recommend this place please go to McDonald’s but don’t go there

I love this waterfall so much. I recommend you order a tea pot, which comes in the traditional Turkish way, which tastes good and looks fantastic.

This is the most kick-ass lunch experience you can present to your guests&friends in Tarsus. Food is more than good enough, especially if you know how to work the Maitre d's. The view and air is what kills you. Its a low height but very wide fall of famous Berdan river. And you are dining right at the break point of the waters. They grow their own fish in a small alcove filled with fresh wonderful waters of Berdan. Cleopatra would feel extremly enchanted if Antonius took her there. Tarsus is where that couple met and mated, you know. ;)

It was a very bad experience , the food was awful and expensive We ordered a grilled meat it was so oily and even the appetizers were bad except of French fries I don’t recommend it for anyone you can only enjoy the view

They should be ashamed, of the way they charged me 70 Tl extra for the service once they heard me speaking another language, I was with my guest so I didn’t want to tartışma about it, ayıp ve kibar değildir when you charge people extra money because they are foreigners or tourists , this is not professional and they gave a bad image about Turkey and temiz Turkish people. I don’t recommend it at all, and hakimi helal etmeyeceğim.

Great

Nefissssss

(Translated by Google) This is the place we definitely visit when we come from Istanbul. The attention, the food, the appetizers are all great. If you come, it is recommended. (Original) İstanbuldan geldiğimizde mutlaka uğradığımız mekan. Ilgi alaka yemek meze hepsi harika. Gelirseniz tavsiyedir.

(Translated by Google) I've had liver shish kebab here 3-4 times. The service, salads, appetizers, lavash bread, and drinks were all good. The liver was delicious and juicy. 7 skewers of liver cost 70 TL. The only problem is that, like everything else, liver has become more expensive due to inflation. I settled for 7 bottles when I could have eaten 10. 10 skewers of liver cost 80 TL. (Original) Burada 3-4 kez ciğer şiş yedim. Servis, salata ve mezeler, lavaş ekmek, içecek güzeldi. Ciğer güzel sulu. 7 şiş ciğer 70 TL. Tek sorun enflasyon ortamında her şey gibi ciğer de pahalandı. 10 şiş yerken 7 şişe razı oldum. 10 şiş ciğer 80 TL.

(Translated by Google) Their craftsmanship is great. They are very attentive. They ask you every 5 minutes if you want something. We bought mixed liver and meat shish kebabs, five at a time so that they wouldn't get cold, a total of 10 shish kebabs came. The price was also very reasonable. Just the lavash could have been hot. They were very delicious. Even my wife who doesn't eat liver ate it with pleasure. The yayık ayran and turnip juice were also very nice. The treats were also a plus 👏🏻 (Original) Esnaflıkları harika. Çok iyi ilgileniyorlar. 5 dakikada bir, bir şey ister misiniz diye soruyorlar. Ciğer ve et şiş karışık aldık soğumasın diye beşer beşer toplamda 10 şiş geldi. Fiyatı da gayet uygundu. Sadece lavaşlar da sıcak olabilirdi. Çok lezzetliydiler. Ciğer yemeyen eşim bile bayılarak yedi. Yayık ayranı ve şalgamı da çok güzeldi. İkramlar da cabası 👏🏻

(Translated by Google) Livers are beautiful and delicious. But the appetizers are a bit weak. The environment is spacious and the prices are reasonable. Liver service for 2 people is 65 TL. (Original) Cigerler güzel ve lezzetli. Ama mezeler biraz zayıf kalıyor. Ortamı ferah fiyatlar makul. 2kişi ciğer servis 65 TL.
