Göksu

The Göksu (Turkish for "blue water" also called Geuk Su, Goksu Nehri, Saleph, Calycadnus) is a river in Taşeli Peninsula (Turkey). Both its sources arise in the Taurus Mountains—the northern in the Geyik Mountains and the southern in the Haydar Mountains. Their confluence is south of Mut.

Course

The river is 260 km long and empties into the Mediterranean Sea 16 km southeast of Silifke (in Mersin province). The delta of the Göksu, including Akgöl Lake and Paradeniz Lagoon, is one of the most important breeding areas in the Near East; over 300 bird species have been observed. Among others, flamingos, herons, bee-eaters, kingfishers, gulls, nightingales and warblers breed here. The endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta) lays eggs here.

Due to demand for summer vacation apartments by the locals, and since necessary precautions are not taken and public attention is minimal in this part of Turkey, the ecosystem around Akgöl Lake and Paradeniz Lagoon is in heavy danger.

History

In 1190, while on the Third Crusade, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa drowned in the river, then known as Saleph within the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. Having defeated the forces of the Sultanate of Rum at the Battle of Iconium, the emperor continued his campaign to the Holy Land and arrived on the banks of the river on June 10. Several contradictory statements reflect the circumstances of his death, which have not been conclusively established. According to some sources, he was lost in the current when he tried to cross the water near Silifke; other chronicles report he wished to cool down from the heat of the day and suffered a heart attack while taking a bath.

    Well she came back last night
    And she said, "I don't have to go home tonight."
    I said, "All right."
    So - I bought again a case of cold, cold Heiniken
    And then - I had it in the van
    A big bottle of Jack Daniels

    And I always carry a stash, cause you never know
    I had two left, two ludes, for the girl of my dreams
    Now,again, she drinks my beer
    She drinks my whiskey
    She does my Qualudes
    5 o'clock comes
    "Oh I feel sick - I gotta go home now."
    And she threw up all over the floor
    I said, "Freeze, freeze - go outside and do that!"
    I said, "The hell with this. I don't need this."
    "I'll go to the geisha house where it's free."
    So I said, "Quit, quit throwing up"
    "Don't tell me no, tell me yeah yeah yeah"
    Don't tell me no tell me yeah yeah yeah
    And she threw up again
