Overview

Termessos (or Thermessos) was a Pisidian city built at an altitude of more than 1000 meters at the South West side of the mounatin Solymos (modern day Gulluk Dagi) in the Taurus mountain range.

It lies 30km to the North West of Antalya. It was founded on a natural platform on top og Gulluk Dagi soaring to a height of 1,665 meters from among the surrounding travertine mountains of Antalya which average only 200 meters above sea level. Termessoss is one of the best preserved and untouched ancient cities in Turkey.

Termessos constitutesan unusual synthesis of a large number of rare plants and animal species which are under protection in the Termessos National Park. Concealed by a multitude of wild p[lants and bounded by dense pine forest, the site, with its peaceful and untouched appearance, has a more distinct and and impressive atmosphere than other ancient cities.

Termessos has many temples and very large cemeteries. The variety and decorations of his tombs are very rich. The tomb of Alketas (319 BC), one of the important commanders of Alexander the Great period, and others are also important in terms of shedding light on the history of the city. Next to the monumental tombs, the shield-motif sarcophagus depicting many of their warriors occupies a large area in the cemetery area. The most interesting work of Termessos in the Antalya Museum is the "Dog Tomb" exhibited in the "Hall of Tombs". The poetic inscription written by the owner of the dog Stefanos is of special importance as it is unique.

Ali and Mustafa provided a special day at this spectacular site!! They were able to allow me to get in when there were difficulties at the gate and then provided a well informed tour of an unusual set of ruins. If you want to see ruins as (almost) originally found, this is it. The mountain top setting provided dramatic views. Thanks to Ali and Mustafa for a great day!!

Superb private tour of Termessos. Very comfortable journey from our apartment to Termessos. Our caring, insightful guide, Mustafa then led us on a fabulous tour of the ancient streets, magnificent theatre (5k capacity) & necropolis of a stunning city perched on an almost impregnable mountaintop that, along with its fierce army, enabled the city to remain independent whilst both the Greek and Roman Empires conquered the surrounding lands. Mustafa was particularly good at explaining how the local history, and the artefacts and buildings we explored, fitted into the wider history of the region and achieved just the right level of insight and “commentary” without ever overloading us. We only came across a dozen or so other tourists during our 2-3 hour visit to Termessos - some of the terrain is a little tricky so sensible footwear is essential! Followed by a visit to Duden Waterfall - also quite interesting albeit rather touristy (and busy) after the seclusion and authenticity of Termessos (due to the waterfall’s proximity and ease of access from Antalya) yet complements Termessos nicely as this is where Alexander The Great’s army went for refreshments after deciding Termessos was too well-protected to engage in battle. Finished off with another smooth journey and drop off at our apartment door.

Nous y avons été il y quelque années et nous avons trouvé ce site remarquable. Il y a des "mais"....Lors de la réservation du déplacement, aucune personne ne nous informé de mises en garde pourtant importantes. A l'arrivée sur place et dans le car, le guide a demandé si quelqu'un souffrait de diabète, de problèmes de coeur, d'asthme, de marche. Il a conseillé d'acheter des boissons (e.a. sucrées, biscuits pour les diabétiques) se munir de chapeaux et surtout de très bonnes chaussures de marche. Nous avons su pourquoi; les sentiers étaient extrêmement glissants (pierres polies par le passage des nombreux touristes). Scabreux car j'ai failli glisser dans le ravin. Déconseillé aussi aux jeunes mamans avec la poussette-enfant. A noter que la plupart des dames et jeunes filles portaient de ravissantes sandales non apropriées pour gravirTermessos. Deux groupes un néerlandophone (nombreux) et un francophone (nous + un couple plus jeune) nous sommes arrivés les premiers au sommet au prix de gros efforts et arrêts. Aucun regret mais dur dur.

Dankzij de mensen van U Can Travel hebben we een schitterende daguitstap kunnen doen op onze reis met vrienden in Antalya. De eerste contacten gebeurden via de goed ogende website vanuit ons thuisland en vervolgens via een chatapp. De laatste praktische afhandelingen gebeurden in hun kantoor dat makkelijk te vinden is in de toeristische buurt van oud Antalya. Een zeer vriendelijke dame zorgde voor de laatste details van onze excursie. We werden netjes aan ons hotel in Lara op het afgesproken uur opgepikt in een comfortabele busje. Termessos in zéér de moeite om te bezoeken en ligt in een prachtige natuurlijke omgeving. Er komen heel weinig toeristen en dat is te verklaren wegens het redelijk zware klimwerk dat men heeft te doen naar het prachtige theater. Hier en daar moet men werkelijk over en tussen stenen klauteren. Het is dan ook af te raden voor mensen die niet zo goed te been zijn. Nadien moet men dalend dezelfde weg weer naar beneden. Tijdens ons bezoek in december was het er wel erg koud. Onze Engelstalige gids Mustafa gaf zeer deskundige uitleg over de geschiedenis van deze oudheidkundige stad Termessos. Na dit zeer fascinerend bezoek reden we richting de Kursunlu watervallen waar ons eerst een lekkere lunch werd aangeboden die in de excursieprijs inbegrepen is. Hierna ging gids Mustafa met het ons het hele complex rond met de interessante uitleg over de waterval. Na deze zéér geslaagde ontdekkingstocht werden we weer netjes aan ons hotel afgezet. Heel veel dank aan het U Can Travel team voor deze prachtige ervaring. We raden andere mensen dit ten zeerste aan.
