Anti-Taurus Mountains, Mountain range in southern Turkey

The Anti-Taurus Mountains stretch parallel to the Mediterranean coast, extending from Lake Egridir to the Euphrates River with peaks reaching 3,700 meters.

The Cilician Gates passage through the Anti-Taurus Mountains served as a vital route for trade caravans and military forces throughout ancient periods.

The regional populations maintain traditional lifestyles in scattered settlements across the mountain slopes, adapting to the geographical isolation of the area.

The railway connection between Kayseri and Adana provides transportation access through the mountain range, linking central Turkey to coastal regions.

The mountains contain substantial mineral deposits, including silver, copper, lignite, zinc, iron, and arsenic, contributing to Turkey's mining sector.
