Gazipasa
The westernmost town in the Mersin province is Anamur. The Kaladran stream marks the border between Anamur and Gazipasa hence dividing the Antalya province from Mersin. Gazipasa sprawls over a plain that is 10 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide. The plain carries the same name as the town. In its east extends the Mediterranean Sea. The Taurus Mountains rise in the north of the town, Gazipasa has a coastline 50 kilometers long. Along this coastline there are three beaches: Pazarci, Koru and Selinus, 2 kilometers long each, and Yakacik (Kaledran) which is only 100 meters long. The rest of the coastline, that is 43,900 meters consist of rocks. However you can find very small rocky coves along the coastline and enjoy its privacy. Nobody else will come while you are there. It is so small! The western section that follows the coast in the west of the Taurus Mountains in the north is called the Akcal Mountain range. The highest peak of this range is "Deliktas" which is 2,253 meters above the sea level. Lower lands consist of alluvial plains canning parallel to the coast that is flat lands formed by gravel, silt and clay deposited by waters coming down from the mountains.
