Gözne

Gözne is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Toroslar, Mersin Province, Turkey.

The road between Mersin and Gözne is quite well cared and accessible whole year, the average travel time being about 30 minutes.

The modern settlement in Gözne dates back to 19th century when people from Mersin and Tarsus began to use the surrounding as a summer resort (Turkish: yayla).

During the Turkish War of Independence, Mersin and Tarsus were under French occupation [5] and Gözne was one of the centers of the nationalists.

Nevertheless, after the beginning of beach tourism and other touristic activities as well as the advance in climatization technology, Gözne is not as popular as it used to be.
