Büyükeceli is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Gülnar, Mersin Province, Turkey.

[3][4] Büyükeceli had been founded on the southern slopes of Toros Mountains.

It is near to Mediterranean coast (3 km (1.9 mi)) and recent housing of the town is almost at the seaside.

Akkuyu nuclear power plant is being built near Büyükeceli.

But there are serious objections to the project (see Human chain against nuclear plant in Turkey).The most important objection is that Büyükeceli and the surrounding coastline may lose its touristic potential after the realization of the project.
