İskenderun Museum of the Sea

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:47:33

This excellent private museum fills a restored colonial mansion with an interesting showcase of Turkish naval history along with a room dedicated to covering the fascinating role of the Hatay region in Turkish history. There's plenty of English language translations, and highlights include a mini-armada of model ships and displays of Ottoman navy campaigns up to and including the Gallipoli campaign. The museum is around 600m west on Atatürk Bulvarı, to the right if you're facing inland.
