Akçatekir is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Pozantı, Adana Province, Turkey.

Akçatekir is situated along the valley of Çakıt on the Taurus Mountains at an altitude of about 1,250 metres (4,100 ft).

There were two quarters, in Akça (western portion) villagers lived all year long and in Bürücek (eastern portion) city dwellers (mainly from Adana and Tarsus) spent the summers, escaping from the heat of Çukurova (Cilicia).

[5] Akçatekir had long been known as a summer resort town (so called yayla).

So even in winters, people who work in the cities may prefer to settle in Akçatekir.
