Mount Güllük-Termessos National Park

Located in the Taurus Mountains, Mount Güllük-Termessos National Park spreads across 6,700 hectares of Mediterranean terrain with steep cliffs and dense forests.

The park contains the remains of Termessos, an ancient Pisidian city that successfully resisted Alexander the Great's invasion attempts in 333 BCE.

The archaeological site presents numerous structures from the Roman period, including a theater, gymnasium, and intricate tomb decorations reflecting Hellenistic influences.

Visitors can access the park through a 34-kilometer drive northwest from Antalya, with designated camping areas and restaurants available near the entrance.

The Mecine Canyon within the park features 600-meter-high walls where golden eagles nest and mountain goats roam freely through the rocky terrain.
