Get to know Hatay

Hatay’s geographical dalliance with neighbouring Syria brings a confluence of African and Middle Eastern cultures that seasons a melting pot of religious beliefs and ethnicities. Previously known as Antioch, the Turkish city is rich in history dating back to Bronze Age and replete with biblical footprints. Today, with Muslims, Christians and Jews coexisting peacefully here, religious tolerance is an enduring way of life this side of the Mediterranean coast.
