Hidden high in the Taurus Mountains, Sagalassos is one of Türkiye’s most atmospheric ancient cities — a place where Roman history meets breathtaking mountain scenery. Left untouched for centuries, the city was rediscovered through modern excavations that revealed remarkably preserved monuments, fountains, and streets. Today, visitors can wander through grand ruins in complete tranquility, surrounded by cool mountain air and panoramic views. Sagalassos offers a rare blend of culture, nature, and storytelling — making it one of the most rewarding day trips from Antalya.
Ormana, the charming mountain village nestled in the Taurus Mountains of Antalya, has achieved a major international milestone by being recognized as one of the Best Tourism Villages 2024 by the United Nations Tourism (UN Tourism). This prestigious distinction places Ormana among a select group of only 55 rural communities worldwide that exemplify sustainable tourism, cultural preservation, and community empowerment.
