Termessos was a Pisidian city built at an altitude of more than 1000 meters at the south-west side of the mountain Solymos (modern-day Güllük Dağı) in the Taurus Mountains.
Termessos constitutes an unusual synthesis of a large number of rare plants and animal species, which are under protection in ‘The Güllük Mountain (Termessos) National Park’. Concealed by a multitude of wild plants and bounded by dense pine forests, the site, with its peaceful and untouched appearance, has a more distinct and impressive atmosphere than other ancient cities.
After breakfast leave your hotel for a breath-taking panorama over Antalya to the Beydag national Park after a gentle walk we reach the spectaculer mountain top ruins of Termessos, its people warded off the army of the all conquering Alexander the Great. The ruins are perched on a 1.050m high plateau on the west face of Gulluk Mountain. A wild and splendid landscape surrounds the monumental traces of the city. Proceed to upper Düden Waterfalls and Return back to Antalya. (L)
