Antiochia ad Cragum, Ancient ruins in Güneyköy, Turkey
The archaeological site contains fortifications, baths, chapels, a Roman necropolis, and multiple structures spread across Mount Cragus overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Founded by Antiochus IV Epiphanes around 170 BC, the city served as a base for Mediterranean pirates until their defeat by Roman commander Pompey in 67 BC.
The site features the largest Roman mosaic in Turkey, spanning 150 square meters around an antique pool, demonstrating advanced architectural techniques of the period.
The ruins remain open for exploration without admission fees, though visitors should prepare for uneven terrain and bring appropriate footwear for the rocky surfaces.
Archaeological excavations in 2018 revealed mosaic decorations in ancient latrines depicting humorous scenes of Narcissus and Ganymede, reflecting daily Roman life.
