Welcome to the wonder that is Termessos, an ancient Pisidian city perched majestically at over 1000 meters on the southwest side of the breathtaking Solymos Mountain (known today as Gulluk Dagi) in the Taurus mountain range. Situated approximately 30km northwest of Antalya, Termessos is a captivating blend of history and natural beauty.
Nestled on a natural platform atop Gulluk Dagi, which rises to an impressive height of 1,665 meters, the city offers dramatic views of the surrounding landscape. This serene spot is bordered by the rolling travertine mountains of Antalya, which modestly peak at about 200 meters above sea level. Termessos is revered as one of the best-preserved and untouched ancient cities in Turkey, a testament to its enduring legacy.
Adding to its allure, Termessos is part of the Termessos National Park, a sanctuary that boasts a unique blend of rare plants and animal species. The city, serenely enveloped by dense pine forests and concealed under a canopy of wild flora, exudes an atmosphere of peace and seclusion that sets it apart from other ancient sites.
