Ancient Alexandria (Çankaya) is a quieter archaeological zone near İskenderun, ideal for layered stonework, weathered bas-reliefs, and history-forward compositions with the Mediterranean landscape in the background. Best light: late afternoon into golden hour; weekdays for fewer visitors. Access is by local roads—carry water, expect limited signage, and be mindful of uneven terrain.
