A rock tomb at Termessus

In 333, Alexander surrounded Termessos in Pisidia, but failed to conquer it. He likened the strategic and wealthy city to an eagle's nest. Nonetheless, it later became part of the Hellenistic world created by Macedon's greatest king. Today, the rock-cut tombs that surround the city, dating from before and after Alexander's time, are a reminder of its former glory. Find out about our Alexander the Great tour in Turkey
