 Tarsus (city) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tarsus – also Tarsos (Greek: Ταρσός); Antiochia on the Cydnus and Juliopolis – is a city in Cilicia, present day Mersin Province, Turkey, located on the mouth of the Tarsus Çay (Cydnus) which empties into the Mediterranean Sea.

Tarsos has been suggested as a probable identification of the biblical Tarshish, where the prophet Jonah flees, although Tartessos in Spain has also been suggested for this.
