A Lost Civilization Among the Mountains: A Comfortable Journey to Termessos
Hidden within the borders of Güllük Mountain National Park, northwest of Antalya, lies the ancient city of Termessos — a breathtaking archaeological site surrounded by nature. Located about 1000 meters above sea level, this ancient settlement fascinates visitors with its magnificent view and well-preserved ruins, offering a true journey back in time.
Termessos Ancient City was built by the Pisidian people during the Hellenistic period. Thanks to its strategic location, it was almost impossible to conquer. Even Alexander the Great failed to capture it, calling it “the lair of mountain lions.” Today, this mysterious site is a paradise for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
The city is about 30 km from Antalya center, and since the route includes steep and winding mountain roads, having comfortable transportation is a must.
