More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The jeep bumps over a washboard track, pine resin and hot dust filling the air as the coastline falls away and the Taurus Mountains push up like a wall ahead. Riders lean from open windows to catch the first long view across Antalya’s bay before the vehicle dives onto a dirt spine road that climbs to roughly 920 meters.
