Great day with a very good guide

Lakshminarayana_T, Aug 2025

Our guide Yusuf was great. Very accommodative and adjusted start tines that suited us. He started the trip by giving details of history of Antalya and was very informative and funny. We drove off to Karain first and he explained the finer details about the settlement and area. Gave us pointers to look for during the visit. Very nice climb of aroubd 480 steps . We enjoyed this attraction very much as it was unique and the history behind. Then we went to Termessos area. It was an hours trek into the forest and was very enjoyable. At the top, yusuf started explaining about each and every part of the old ruins- the hamam, theatre, bazaar, shops, temple, parliment etc in detail and we could visualise how grand this place would have been thousands of years agilo. On the way down, we took a differebt path going theu the necropolis of the area where we saw several tombs and burial places of important people of that age. We the ended in Antalya for a nice lunch. Overall a very enjoyable trip you should make if you are in the area. I cant recomment yusuf more as he was just brilliant. Thanks

Dear Lakshminarayana, Thank you so much for your incredibly detailed and wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic and enjoyable trip. It's wonderful to know that Yusuf's expertise, flexibility, and sense of humor made your journey through Karain Cave and Termessos so memorable. We agree that he is a brilliant guide, and we will be sure to pass on your very kind words to him. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to Antalya.

Outstanding!

Out personal guide was outstanding! He was full of knowledge and had us hooked on every word. I thoroughly recommend doing this trip. We did it in the height of summer and get the trail is mostly shaded providing much needed relief. The view from the top is out of this world. We are both well travelled but this has to be the best archaeological site we have ever seen. We only saw one other person at the location, so, unlike other sites, we weren't fighting for views or felt rushed to move on. Our guide went at our pace and did not rush. We all had dinner together and a great wee eatery too which had plenty of vegetarian options for me. Tips: Bring plenty of water and extra for the lonely dog who lives on the mountain. Bring extra food for him too.

Very informative . A bit of a steep climb , at both Terremos and the caves , but well worth it. The sights at Terremos , especially from the amphitheatre , were spectacular .
