The literary work of famous traveler Evliya Çelebi, who lived in the 17th century during the Ottoman Period, called Seyahatname (Travel Book) is a detailed study that is the source of its period. The work of the traveler, in which he described his observations and provided knowledge of the places and people he had visited, is also a text that can be evaluated in terms of ethnography. For this reason, the work of the traveler has been the subject of studies in history, geography, sociology, gastronomy, archaeology, religious sciences and many other fields. In addition to all these fields of science, this work provides a rich ethnographic data for anthropology, which is the science of man, in terms of social structure, culture, architecture, economy, language, social class, education, belief, tradition and others. The traveler, who closely witnessed the daily life of the 17th Century Ottoman Period, created his work by obtaining direct data through participant observations while traveling, along with his exaggerated expressions from time to time. In this sense, his work is full of narratives that include both his own period and much older periods. Within this scope, in this study, the situation of Hatay, which is located in the easternmost part of the Mediterranean, in the 17th century was evaluated from an ethnographic point of view although the administrative borders were different during the traveler’s period. In conclusion, it has been revealed through the data that sheds light on daily life in the light of subjects such as faith, economy, architecture, natural environment, diseases, trade and ethno-religious structure of the places mentioned in Seyahatname and today located within the borders of Hatay province.
