Adana (the ancient Antioch in Cilicia or Antioch on the Sarus, Armenian: Atana), is the capital of Adana Province in Turkey. The city administrates two districts, Seyhan and Yüreğir, with a total population of 2,530,257 and an area of 1,945 km². It is the fourth most populous city of Turkey (after Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir).

For most Turkish people, the word 'Adana' associates with Kebab, şalgam, cotton, oranges and very hot weather.

Adana is named among the 25 European Regions of the Future for 2006/2007 by Foreign Direct Investment Magazine. Chosen alongside Kocaeli for Turkey, Adana scored the most points for cost effectiveness against Kocaeli's points for infrastructure development, while Adana and Kocaeli tied on points for the categories of human resources and quality of life.
