==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.
