Kizkalesi and Ayas: The Quiet Luxury of the Mediterranean
Coves facing a castle in the sea, ancient ruins and the clearest water in Mersin.
Ayas and Kizkalesi form the most distinctive stretch of the Mersin coast, defined by the Maiden’s Castle rising from the water.
Why here
The coves are shallow and clear, the beaches wide, and even in high season the crowds stay measured. The ruins of ancient Korykos can be explored on foot along the shore.
The property side
Beachfront villas here are limited in number and rarely change hands. Seasonal rentals achieve the highest occupancy rates in Mersin.
