Dörtyol, historically Chork Marzban (, 'four reaches'), is a municipality and district of Hatay Province, Turkey. Its area is 342 km2, and its population is 128,941 (2022). It is a port city and oil terminus located 26 km north of the city of İskenderun, near the easternmost point of the Mediterranean at the head of the Gulf of İskenderun.
==Geography== The name Dörtyol means "crossroads" (literally "four roads" or "reaches") in Turkish, as it did in the former Armenian name; indeed, the town, sits on a crossing of highways, especially the O-53 from Anatolia south into Hatay and on to Syria. The road is channelled along the narrow coastal strip with the Nur Mountains (the ancient Amanos) behind.
