Hatay Halal Travel Guide

The only piece of land annexed by Türkiye after its modern borders were defined in the Lausanne and Ankara Treaties of 1923 and 1926, respectively, this province, which was then known as Sandjak (county) of Alexandretta, was under French control as a part of the French Mandate of Syria between 1920 and 1938. In 1938, it appeared on the maps as the independent State of Hatay. Following a plebiscite a year later, it joined Türkiye as the Hatay Province in 1939.

It's easy to point out Hatay on maps, even on those showing full continents, as it is where the southern border of Türkiye, which follows roughly a straight line in a west-east fashion extends significantly southwards. Situated on the very northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea, where northern shores lying on a west-east direction curves into the Middle Eastern shore stretching north to south (traditionally known as the coasts of the Levant), it's feasible to find long and sandy beaches popular with the local residents in the region, although the traditional centre of the region, Antakya|Antakya/Antioch, is an inland city.

Local Language in Hatay

Almost all people in the province can speak Turkish_phrasebook|Turkish, although with a heavy accent in most cases. Also and the Syrian dialect of Arabic_phrasebook|Arabic is the native tongue for many people in many parts of the province, especially in the south.
