Anıtlı is in Anamur district of Mersin Province. It is on Turkish state highway D.400 which runs from west to east in south Turkey and it is situated at to the east of a creek named Kaledran. It is the westernmost point of Mersin Province. Yakacık, the former quarter of the village at the west of the creek is now in the neighbouring Antalya Province. However although the villages are officially issued, the residents still prefer to use the name Kaledran for both parts. The distance to Anamur is 43 kilometres (27 mi) and to Mersin is 267 kilometres (166 mi). The population is of Anıtlı is 872[1]
Like many Mediterranean coastline villages, Anıtlı produces vegetables and fruits, especially bananas. Although the transportation facilities over the state highway are not adequate for an extensive tourism program, being a village with natural beaches, Anıtlı's potential for tourism is promising.
