Mount Sipylus, Summit of 1513 meters in Manisa Province, Turkey.
Mount Sipylus rises prominently in western Turkey, featuring dense forests of Calabrian pine, black pine, and white birch across its slopes and ridges.
The mountain formed part of the historical Lydian territory, with ancient settlements and fortifications dating back to the 5th century BCE near its base.
The Weeping Rock formation on the mountain connects to the Greek myth of Niobe, who turned to stone after losing her children to Apollo and Artemis.
The mountain offers multiple marked hiking trails, designated camping areas, and bungalow accommodations managed by the Provincial Directorate of Environment and Forestry.
Wild tulips grow naturally on the mountain slopes within Spil Mountain National Park, established in 1969 to protect local flora and fauna species.
