Some other routes are:

  • A highlight near Antalya is a hike to the ruins of the ancient city of Termessos at the foot of Mount Solymos. The Turkey's "Machu Piccu" at 1,500 meters above sea level in Termessos National Park is a wonderful destination for a one-hour hike.
  • Southwest of Antalya, near Çıralı, you can see a millennium-old natural phenomenon. In several places flames emerge from the rocky mountainside, also called the "eternal fires of Chimaira". From the café it takes 30 minutes to reach the first flames and about 60 minutes to reach the last flames on the hill.
  • St. Paul Trail is another cultural route with very demanding parts. It's considered to be the second oldest hiking trail in Turkey, with a length of 500 kilometers. It begins in Perge, 10 kilometers east of Antalya, and follows the footsteps of the Apostle Paul to the ancient city of Antioch near Yalvaç, northeast of Lake Eğirdir. The trail leads to altitudes of up to 2,200 meters. Partial stretches can be hiked.
  • The village of Ormana is located in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, about 60 kilometers from Manavgat. It is famous for its button houses, built only of stone and boards without nails and cement. There are several hiking routes from here, including the 11-kilometer trail to Altınbeşik Cave.
  • Tazı Canyon, also called Eagles Canyon, is located in Köprülü Canyon, only 10 kilometers from the rafting center in Köprülü Canyon Nature Park. It's a natural canyon formed by streams. To get there you have to hike about 11 kilometers through steep rocks, high in the mountains, finally to be rewarded with a fantastic view.
