Nagidos Ancient City

Located in the Bozyazi district of Mersin, the ancient city of Nagidos reflects the cultural beauty of Mersin with its fascinating history, as well as the advantage of a small island that can be reached by sea. The history of the city dates back to more than 2000 years BC, when it was a colony of Samos in the seventh century, and it acquired the identity of a coastal city through openness to trade. Today, the island includes a number of distinctive artifacts that are displayed exclusively in the Mersin Historical Museum due to its importance.
