Here is a very interesting mix of cultures, languages and religions. (Turkish Sunnis and Alevis, Druze, Greeks, arbab Orthodox Jewish synagoges, churches).
Arsus beaches in Nice, south of Iskenderun. The people are very receptive. Visit Antakya (Antioch the old one of the first Christian communities). Visit the waterfalls in Harbiye (ask for the selale restaurants), food with raki (Turkish ouzo) and salgam suyu (red juice legume) - so you do not have headaches there. After Turkish mocca ice künefe (surprise-you will love it!). The area is also famous for silk and canvas line Bay Tree soaps. Most of the people in the field speaks Arabic as a second language. The famous church is located in the city. Make sure you visit the museum and see acheologcial Iskender the Great grave.
