Mersin Naval Museum
About This Museum
People come to the Mersin Naval Museum not just to escape the Mediterranean sun, but to get a real feel for Turkey's deep connection to the sea. You can spend an hour completely absorbed, tracing the history of naval battles that shaped this coastline through personal artifacts, detailed models, and even full-scale torpedoes.

The museum does a fantastic job of telling a compelling story without being overwhelming, leaving you with a real sense of respect for the region's maritime heritage.
