Famous as the birthplace of St. Paul, Tarsus is easily visited on a day trip from Adana. It isn't worth a special trip unless you're passing nearby. Adam's son, Seth, is said to have founded this town (other local traditions hold that it's where Antony and Cleopatra met and where 7th-century Archbishop of Canterbury Theodore was born). Among the attractions are the Ulu Mosque, Sahmeran's Baths and the nearby Caves of the Seven Sleepers, in which Christians hid from persecution. 23 mi/37 km west of Adana.
