Is Mersin safe for solo female travelers?

İt can be really dangerous ıf you go to the wrong places. But ıf you know where to go where to be safe you'll be fine. I can show you these places. I feel safe walking around ın my city(time doesn't matter) having fun with my friends or by myself.

One of the safest cities in Türkiye ( Mersin ).You can walk around comfortably (in the light). It is useful to be careful in the evenings as everywhere else, but it is very safe to return home in the evenings.

About me

Hey, I’m Pelin! An English teacher from Turkey and a solo traveler working online with a passion for cultures, languages, and meaningful connections. Fluent in Turkish and English, I love immersing myself in new traditions, sharing stories, and experiencing the soul of each place I visit. For me, traveling isn’t just about visiting place it’s about experiencing the soul of a city, understanding its people, and embracing the little moments that make a journey unforgettable. Whether it’s exchanging languages over a cup of coffee, getting lost in deep conversations about life, or simply wandering through hidden gems, I cherish every opportunity to connect with like-minded souls. If you’re up for sharing stories, laughter, and authentic experiences, let’s meet somewhere in the world! ✨
