Döşemealti Antique Flooring Road

A place not far from Antalya, but badly destroyed.

Great road and residential area compared to those times

ANTIQUE ROAD The water cistern and theater ruins were on the road that made me admire 2000 years ago.

Walking is important in order to be a healthy individual of the love of history and nature.

Derbent Strait, one of the roads connecting the cities of Pamphylia and Pisidia in ancient times, continued its function in the Byzantine and Seljuk-Ottoman periods, and even was the migration route of the nomads until recently. On this road, which has been functioning for 2000 years, there are structures that were used as military mansions in various periods for control purposes. This road consisting of paved stones gave its name to the town of Döşemealtı. The local people called the road with a stone paved surface of 4 meters wide called “Flooring” for short, “Flooring Strait” to the strait where the road passes, and “Döşemealtı” to the plain under the road. Over time, Döşemealtı; it became the name of a group of villages here, later the whole plateau, the sub-district center and finally the district.

Those who want to go can get lost here. No road sign. It's a very deserted place. You should go with someone who knows. Somewhere by car. Then you need to climb with walking.
