Nur Mountains, Mountain range in southern Turkey.
The Nur Mountains extend parallel to the Mediterranean coast, reaching heights of 2,240 meters with their highest point at Bozdağ Dağı peak.
The mountains contained numerous monasteries from the fourth century, becoming a central location for Byzantine monasticism comparable to Mount Athos.
Local communities in the Nur Mountains maintain traditional practices of agriculture and seasonal migration patterns connected to the mountainous terrain.
The Belen Pass and Bahçe Pass provide essential transportation routes through the mountain range, connecting coastal regions with inland areas.
The mountains contain deposits of silver, copper, lignite, zinc, iron, and arsenic, making them a significant source of mineral resources.
