ADANA, Turkey — The entire city center of Adana in the south of Turkey turned into a giant celebration space last weekend, when the seventh edition of the Orange Blossom Carnival attracted 1.5 million carnivalgoers who wore colorful costumes, danced, tasted local specialties and enjoyed the Mediterranean sun.
This is Turkey’s first and only major street carnival, which attracted more than 250,000 tourists from across Turkey and abroad for this year’s celebration. Visitors came from Istanbul, Izmir and Diyarbakir, and also Brazil, Russia and Canada.
