Aydıncık

This small Mediterranean coastal town in Mersin Province, Türkiye, Aydıncık sits along a largely unspoilt stretch of coastline that includes sandy beaches and a little headland called Sancak Burnu. Known historically as Kelenderis — and in Armenian as Gilindire — the town lies well off the main tourist corridor between Mersin and Antalya, making it a destination for those seeking a quieter section of the Turkish Mediterranean.
