TOUR CONCEPT

Discovering Termessos: A Majestic Ancient City in the Taurus Mountains

Nestled amidst the towering peaks of the Taurus mountain range, the ancient city of Termessos presents a spectacular historical marvel perched over 1,000 meters above sea level, near the modern-day Gulluk Dagi, previously known as Mount Solymos It proudly stands as a formidable testament to the rich history of Pisidia, approximately 30 kilometers northwest of the bustling city of Antalya.

The altitude provides Termessos with a breathtaking view of the travertine mountains that blanket the region, with the average height around 200 meters, a stark contrast to Termessos’ lofty station atop the region’s second-highest mountain.

Due to it high elevation and robust defenses, the city was one of the few to resist Alexander the Great’s conquests. Termessos’ key feature is its remarkable state of preservation, remaining largely untouched through the centuries, thus offering visitors an authentic glimpse into ancient times.

The city is enveloped by a lush tapestry of wild flora, harmoniously intertwined with the dense pine forests that encompass the region. This natural barricade has helped shield Termessos from the ravages of time and human influence, allowing it to retain a solemn and unspoiled allure that differentiates it from other historical sites.

Moreover, the Termessos National Park, which envelops the ancient city, serves as a sanctuary for a diverse array of plant and animal life that is rigorously protected. This blend of natural beauty and archeological significance reinforces the city’s reputation as a place of serenity and cultural importance.

Visitors to Termessos can anticipate an immersive experience as they explore the remnants of a grand past, punctuated by lunch near the picturesque Duden Waterfall, an ideal location that complements a day of historical exploration with the soothing ambiance of the waterfall’s cascade.

In sum, Termessos offers a unique opportunity to step back in time, surrounded by nature’s grandeur, and to unravel the mysteries of an ancient civilization that once thrived amidst the clouds of the Taurus mountains.
