High in the mountains above Antalya, Thermessos - the last city on the border of Lykia and Pamphylia- lies on a vast acropolis surrounded by high peaks. It was a Pysidian city with such formidable natural defences that Alexander the Great could not capture it. Gulluk National Park (Thermessos National Park) is 4 km to the northwest of Antalya. The ancient city of Thermessos, set inside the park, is located on a 1040 meters high plateau on the west side of Gulluk Mountain (Solymos). You can visit the city between 7:30 and 19:30. It is an ideal place for trekking activities and yachting. It’s hard to find your way because of its sophisticated and mystic ambience.

Founded by Pysidian tribe who live in the northern area of Pamphylia, city takes the name Thermessos that comes from Lykian Termilæ. People who live in this area were known as aggressive warriors. Once, Thermessos warriors had captured thirty Lykian cities. Because of some resource problems, they had to find alternative foods. They are also interested in trade and for this reason they need a tax organization for travels. In Homer’s Iliad, Thermessos is a delightful place. Alexander the Great tried to capture Thermessos with Selge tribe’s help. Nevertheless, the natural obstacles foreclosed him. With Roman sovereignty, the city became a special place. In addition, it’s called as a religion centre in the Byzantium period.

Climate is characterised by excessive summer temperatures and mild winters (a Mediterranean type). Best time for visiting Thermessos is between April and November. In addition, it is an interesting place in spring with its natural sources and ancient ruins of legends.

In the main entrance of Gulluk National Park, it’s possible to find a section to get more information about the area. The ruins of the city are 500 Meters away from car/bus stop. You have to pass boarding. Then you can see a monumental portrait of Thermessos. Ancient ruins hide in the silent embrace of virgin orchids. A few of them still stand because of natural effects. Hellenistic theatre with the capacity of 4000 still waits its visitors. King Street (Kral Caddesi) divides city into the two parts. First part contains ruins of bazaars & shops; on the other side gymnasium, temples and government buildings stand. There is a section where you can view from the city walls opposed to necropolis. After many earthquakes, a few buildings in Agora such as cisterns (northwest area)-used to storage rain waters-still standing. Left side of this area there is an aqueduct. You can see a path in the west side of Agora divided into the two ways. If you walk to the left part, you’ll see a spring. According to rumours, inhabitants believe that spring has healing affects.

Thermessos’ hard conditions and temperature may be dangerous for your health. If you are a smoker, you should put away your cigarettes. Be careful when choosing your shoes & clothing. Prefer comfortable clothes to protect yourself from the thorns and shoes such as cross-training type. In addition, you should use cap and bring a bottle of water with yourself. The nearest health service available is in Antalya.

Gulluk National Park was taken under protection by the government. You can see many rare animal species in this paradise. It’s a great place for people who are interested in wildlife photography. An ideal place for trekking but be careful - you may be lost within this beautiful side. Have a picnic. Enjoy yourself.
