⛰️ Explore the Ancient City of Termessos
Termessos (or Thermessos) was a Pisidian city built more than 1000 meters above sea level on the southwest side of Mount Solymos (modern-day Güllük Dağı) in the Taurus Mountains. Located 30 km northwest of Antalya, the city was founded on a natural platform atop the mountain, which rises to 1,665 meters, making it one of the most strategically located and well-preserved ancient cities in Turkey.
🌿 A Hidden Treasure in Nature
Surrounded by travertine peaks that average just 200 meters, Termessos offers a dramatic contrast in altitude and scenery. It is also home to a diverse range of rare plants and wildlife protected under Termessos National Park. Concealed by wild flora and thick pine forests, the city’s untouched and tranquil atmosphere creates a magical setting unlike any other archaeological site in Turkey.
🍽️ Lunch by the Beautiful Düden Waterfall
After exploring Termessos, we’ll stop for a relaxing lunch near Düden Waterfall, one of Antalya’s most iconic natural attractions. Here, the cool cascading waters and peaceful setting make the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on your journey through history.
