Termessos Ancient City; The
Ancient City of Termessos is located 30
kilometres from Antalya. This spectacular
Psidian City is thought to have been of great
importance during the Lycian times. Termessos is
built on Mountain Solymos in the Taurus range,
at an altitude of 1,665 metres, historians say
that even the forces of Alexander the Great
couldn't capture this fortified city. Protected
by impressive stone walls and surrounded by
rugged mountains and dense forests, Termessos is
ideally located to defend from incoming attacks.
Today, it is one of the best preserved ancient
cities of Turkey but still some hiking is
required to fully explore the site. Termessos
is certainly not your average historical site. |

Old City of Antalya;
Antalya was established in the second
century BC by the King of Pergamum Attalos II on the
northern most edge of the Gulf of Pamphylia, at the bay
where todays harbour is situated. The harbour was chosen
because it didn’t accumulate silt and because of the
freshwater resources nearby. The city was encircled with
city walls in the century following its establishment.
There are many gates built along the city walls leading
to the harbour. The most imposing gate was built in the
name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited Antalya
in the 2ndcentury. The gate still stands
today. |
