Antalya through the back door

We have completed our preparations for a fun trip along the Taurus Mountains from Termessos to Side. We turn toward Korkuteli from the city center of Antalya and follow the signs to Güllük Mountain National Park in Termessos. In order to reach the parking area by the ruins at the top, we need to climb for about eight kilometers on a crooked asphalt road. The ancient city of Termessos was found between the two peaks of Mount Güllük, an extension of the Taurus Mountains. The city, which is spread over a wide area at an altitude of almost one thousand meters, is one of the best-preserved antique settlements in Turkey. After several hours filled with history, we hit the road again. This time, our destination is Köprülü Canyon.
