Adana Neyi Meşhur?

Adana Travel Guide: Taşköprü, Seyhan, and Adana Kebab

Quick answer: Adana is the heart of the Çukurova region, bearing the license plate code 01. Taşköprü and the banks of the Seyhan River capture the city's pulse, while Büyük Saat (Great Clock Tower) and the Ulu Cami (Great Mosque) complete a central walking tour. At the dining table, Adana kebab, liver, ribs, şırdan, paça, and şalgam (turnip juice) are always mentioned together, with katmer and künefe rounding out the dessert selection.

During the summer months, avoid long walks during the midday heat; kebab and soup spots can get much busier in the evenings.
