Termessos Ruins, Ancient ruins in Güllük National Park, Turkey
The stone structures of Termessos spread across a mountaintop at 1000 meters elevation, surrounded by dense pine forests of the Taurus Mountains.
During 333 BC, Alexander the Great failed to capture this fortified city due to its strategic position and strong natural defenses in the mountains.
The temple of Zeus Solymeus contains inscriptions and architectural elements that demonstrate the fusion of Greek, Roman, and local Pisidian traditions.
Visitors need to complete a steep one-hour hike from the parking area to reach the main archaeological site at the mountain summit.
The theater, built for 4,200 spectators, stands against the mountain backdrop, creating a natural amphitheater with views extending to the Mediterranean Sea.
