Hi, I am wanting to send a message to someone but made a complete mess of the translation. Would someone be able to translate for me so I can see how the translation was made:

I want to say, 

yes it was taken in Iskenderun. I went there last year

thank you so much for your reply

my try : evet, o iskenderunda alindi, gecen sene oraya gitmistim

I think they are talking about a photo, then it would be translated as:

Evet, Iskenderun´da  çekilmişti.....
