Turkish Sparta - 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 - 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.

Just, WOW! - Honestly, it is the most incredible site we have ever visited (see photos). Our guide, Yusuf, was wonderfully informative and kept us entertained throughout the hike. We never felt under any time constraints, so we could take as many breaks as we needed. Afterwards, we had a brilliant lunch (including a delicious option for a fussy vegetarian diner). Overall, it's a brilliant tour that is well worth the money! P.S. there is the friendliest dog living on the mountain. It followed us for most of our route. Do bring water and food for it 🙂

Termessos is spectacular - 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.

Perfectly tailored to us - It was our second tour with Yusuf. The first one was so impressed with the first tour that we booked a second tour. We were not disappointed, he explained everything perfectly again. It was an unforgettable day for us. It was perfect for us that we could even visit a geocache that was off the tour. Yusuf was fully accommodating to our wishes.

Hidden historical gem - We had a wonderfully day out with our guide Yusuf to visit Termessos and Karain Cave. After the drive from Antalya we walked up from the car park to the ruins, while Yusuf brought the ancient history of this fantastic mountain city to life. After exploring the amazing ruins, we walked back to the car and drove to a nearby restaurant for a delicious lunch, then drove about 20 minutes to the nearby Karain Cave, which was a site of neolithic human habitation. Overall we had a great day out, and would recommend this tour and Yusuf's knowledgeable and friendly services. Kind regards, James and Annie.
