Babadağ, Mountain summit in Muğla Province, Turkey
The limestone mountain reaches an elevation of 1,969 meters with two distinct peaks connected by a flood valley in southwest Turkey.
Ancient Greek geographer Strabo documented this mountain as Mount Cragus, noting its importance within the Lycian territory and its eight summits.
The name Babadağ translates to Father Mountain in Turkish, reflecting the local population's connection to this natural geological formation.
A 15.4-kilometer toll road from Ölüdeniz leads to the summit, requiring approximately 45 minutes to drive with an average gradient of 10.57 percent.
The mountain's location, less than 5 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, creates conditions for the highest official paragliding takeoff site worldwide.
