Nestled high in the Taurus Mountains of Turkey, Termessos is often called the “Eagle’s Nest” for its nearly inaccessible location at 1,000 meters above sea level. Founded by the mysterious Solymians around the 4th or 5th century BCE, this ancient Pisidian city was one of the few places to remain unconquered by Alexander the Great, who famously bypassed it in 333 BCE due to its impenetrable natural defenses.
Termessos flourished under Roman rule, retaining a unique degree of autonomy while building stunning structures like its iconic Hellenistic theater and an elaborate necropolis filled with ornate tombs. The city worshipped Zeus Solymeus, but much of its culture remains shrouded in mystery.
After a devastating earthquake in the 5th century CE destroyed its aqueducts, Termessos was abandoned, leaving behind hauntingly beautiful ruins. Today, it’s preserved within Güllük Mountain National Park, earning recognition from UNESCO for its historical and cultural significance. Termessos stands as a testament to resilience, mystery, and architectural brilliance.

Something I noticed about the seats. Look at this. They're undercut. These are not just stones. When I was walking down, I thought they were just square stones. Looking up, they're curved for feet underneath so people could pull their feet in? So other people could walk by? Maybe they brought pillows. That tells you the level of architecture and the time that they put into places like this. This is not something they built haphazardly. This was years, maybe decade, to do. It's just beyond impressive!
