A port city founded by Alexander the Great, Iskenderun has a long, rich history. Wander its cobblestone streets, peer in on the quaint shops, and visit the Theatre of Masks (a well-preserved Greek structure) and various mosques. Chief among the latter are the lovely blue-tiled Mosque of Al Kahira (built by Sinan) and the Mausoleum of Muktar IV (be sure to see the courtyard). A short distance away lie the ruins of a great library at Fodasi, as well as the mud baths of Albahomos. 300 mi/485 km southeast of Ankara.
