Termessos Ancient City

Antalya, Turkey

High in the Taurus Mountains, Termessos is an ancient city impossible to conquer, even Alexander the Great failed in 333 BC. Among its well-preserved ruins, the grand theater offers a view framed by the peaks and forests. This site suits those who enjoy archaeological exploration combined with panoramic hiking — you won't find refreshments up here, so plan accordingly.
