Great experience - Ali and Mustafa provided a special day at this spectacular site!! They were able to allow me to get in when there were difficulties at the gate and then provided a well informed tour of an unusual set of ruins. If you want to see ruins as (almost) originally found, this is it. The mountain top setting provided dramatic views. Thanks to Ali and Mustafa for a great day!!

Superb day trip by friendly tour organizer. - Thanks to the people of U Can Travel we were able to do a wonderful day trip on our trip with friends in Antalya. The first contacts were made via the good-looking website from our home country and then via a chat app. The last practical handling took place in their office which is easy to find in the tourist area of old Antalya. A very friendly lady took care of the final details of our excursion. We were neatly picked up at our hotel in Lara at the agreed hour in a comfortable van. Termessos in very worth visiting and is located in a beautiful natural environment. There are very few tourists and that is explained by the fairly heavy climbing work that one has to do to the beautiful theater. Here and there one really has to clamber over and between stones. It is therefore not recommended for people who have difficulty walking. Afterwards, one has to descend the same way again. During our visit in December it was very cold. Our English-speaking guide Mustafa gave a very expert explanation of the history of this ancient city Termessos. After this very fascinating visit we drove towards the Kursunlu Falls where we were first offered a nice lunch which is included in the excursion price. After this, guide Mustafa went with us around the whole complex with the interesting explanation about the waterfall. After this very successful exploration we were dropped off at our hotel. Many thanks to the U Can Travel team for this wonderful experience. We highly recommend this to other people.

Exquisite private tour of Ancient Termessos - Superb private tour of Termessos. Very comfortable journey from our apartment to Termessos. Our caring, insightful guide, Mustafa then led us on a fabulous tour of the ancient streets, magnificent theatre (5k capacity) & necropolis of a stunning city perched on an almost impregnable mountaintop that, along with its fierce army, enabled the city to remain independent whilst both the Greek and Roman Empires conquered the surrounding lands. Mustafa was particularly good at explaining how the local history, and the artefacts and buildings we explored, fitted into the wider history of the region and achieved just the right level of insight and “commentary” without ever overloading us. We only came across a dozen or so other tourists during our 2-3 hour visit to Termessos - some of the terrain is a little tricky so sensible footwear is essential! Followed by a visit to Duden Waterfall - also quite interesting albeit rather touristy (and busy) after the seclusion and authenticity of Termessos (due to the waterfall’s proximity and ease of access from Antalya) yet complements Termessos nicely as this is where Alexander The Great’s army went for refreshments after deciding Termessos was too well-protected to engage in battle. Finished off with another smooth journey and drop off at our apartment door.

Warnings to climb Termessos. - We were there a few years ago and we found this site remarkable. There are "buts"....When booking the trip, no one informed us of important caveats. Upon arrival on the spot and in the coach, the guide asked if anyone suffered from diabetes, heart problems, asthma, walking. He advised to buy drinks (sweetened drinks, biscuits for diabetics, etc.) to bring hats and especially very good walking shoes. We knew why; the trails were extremely slippery (stones polished by the passage of many tourists). Scabrous because I almost slipped into the ravine. Not recommended for young mothers with the stroller. Note that most ladies and girls wore lovely sandals not suitable for climbingTermessos. Two groups, one Dutch-speaking (many) and one French-speaking (us + a younger couple) came first at the top at the cost of great efforts and stops. No regrets but hard work.
