Ancient & very ancient

Published on Jan, 2025

Very informative . A bit of a steep climb , at both Terremos and the caves , but well worth it. The sights at Terremos , especially from the amphitheatre , were spectacular .

Worth the hike

Published on Nov, 2024

Very interesting and well informed day. There is an uphill rocky path but has regular stops to rest as necessary. (We're 60s and 70s with dodgy knees but managed fine)

I took this tour, despite the price. I just wanted to see this antient city with helenistic style theatre. And it was actually a private tour. Only two people were on it. This was not stated on Tripadvisor, and it shouls be. Finding out that I am going on private tour to Twrmessos ancient city, justified higer price. As with other private tours, we got a lot of details about Termessos history. We hicked about 40 minutes from our parking lot to the site. Temperatures were 5 degrees lower than in Antayla, and for me was easy hike. But if you are not in good shape, this track is not for you, because going down is more chalanging than going up. We got a lot of time to do the pictures. That was my fifh theater in Antalya, but when you see the site after climb, it is breathtaking. The best one. Caves are also with hike over 480 steps. It is not so breathtaking as Termessos, but dark cealing from firewoods and bats are also breathtaking!

Very scenic and well-preserved ruins

Published on Sep, 2024

The amphitheater is amazing, but so are the other ruins and necropolis. The views are breathtaking and it is much cooler, dryer and windy than down in Antalya. It is about 40-50 minutes hike from the parking lot and Yusuf is going to educate you along the way.

Termessos is spectacular

Published on Jun, 2024

We had the best time today - the tour was outstanding (needs 6*!). We asked just to go to Termessos. Our guide was very considerate and took everything at our pace, as well as being super-informative. Be prepared for a short uphill hike (50 mins?) from the car park to the site but absolutely worth it. Spectacular archaeology and a unique location in the mountains with amazing views.
