Erdemli is a small coastal town located 30 kilometers from the center of Mersin. It is difficult to call it a beach resort, since local beaches, and there are few of them here, are not distinguished by cleanliness and beauty.

Along the coast are numerous high-rise buildings. In general, this area is very densely populated and the Antalya-Mersin highway passes through it, there are constant traffic jams. It is often called a remote microdistrict of Mersin.

Briefly about all Erdemli: just beaches, gray sand, stones and small pebbles, no sunbeds and umbrellas. The beaches are mostly unclean. In some parts of the embankment, there is a strong smell of sewerage. But everything around is mostly well-groomed, tile and artificial turf paths, greenery, palm trees, many cafes, playgrounds and exercise equipment.
