Taurus Mountains

The Taurus Mountains: Turkey’s Majestic Natural Barrier

Stretching from Turkey’s southwest coast near Antalya all the way to Hatay, the Taurus Mountains (Toros Daglari) are a breathtaking natural wonder that has shaped the region’s landscape, history, and mythology. Running parallel to the Mediterranean, the mountains curve around the Gulf of Iskenderun, forming a rugged yet scenic backdrop to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast.

A Mountain Range Steeped in Mythology

⚡ The name “Taurus” has deep cultural roots, originating from ancient depictions of the bull, which was associated with the Eastern Storm-God.
🌧️ The ancient Syrians believed the mountains controlled rainfall, with the Storm-God sending floods to fertilize the land.
🏛️ For centuries, the Taurus Mountains served as both a natural barrier and a cultural crossroads, influencing trade, migration, and warfare.

Ancient Civilizations Hidden in the Taurus Mountains

🏛️ Termessos (30 km from Antalya) – One of Turkey’s best-preserved ancient cities, Termessos is perched at an altitude of 1,665 meters, making it a nearly impenetrable stronghold. Even Alexander the Great failed to conquer it!
🏺 Other archaeological sites scattered throughout the mountains offer glimpses into Lycian, Hellenistic, and Roman civilizations.
