This national park, which surrounds the Termessos site, abounds in wildlife, including mountain goats, speckled deer, golden eagles and 680 species of plants (80 of them endemic). At the entrance, the small Flora & Fauna Museum (admission included with the Termessos ₺5 entry fee) contains information about the ruined city, as well as about the botany and zoology of the area.
