Overview
The Merkez district, the heart of the city of Osmaniye in Türkiye, is a dynamic settlement that brings together both historical and natural beauties.

Natural Beauties and Social Life
There are many points where locals and visitors can spend time in touch with nature. Zorkun Plateau and Cebel Plateau, which are frequent destinations for those who want to cool off especially in summer, best reflect the highland culture of the region. Karaçay Stream, which draws attention with its close location to the district center, and the Karaçay Waterfall to which this stream gives life, offer a unique environment for nature walks. In addition, Karaçay Picnic Area and Çona Canyon Picnic Area, which contains every shade of green, are frequently preferred for relaxation. The Amanos Mountains (Merkez Section) surrounding the south and east of the district and the Merkez Forests extending at the foot of these mountains provide a fresh breath to the district with their rich vegetation.
