auto_storiesStory

Feslikan Plateau is a natural area located west of Antalya, at the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, particularly popular with locals and tourists during the summer months. The history of the plateau dates back to the origins of the nomadic lifestyle and the tradition of transhumance in the region. For centuries, especially the Yörük Turkmens, have ascended to high-altitude plateaus like Feslikan to graze their animals and escape the hot coastal strip during the summer. This tradition has shaped the cultural fabric and way of life of the plateau. Feslikan Plateau has functioned not only as a grazing area but also as a center for social life. Temporary settlements established on the plateau have been supported over time by more permanent structures, but the natural character of the plateau has largely been preserved. The surroundings of the plateau are home to rich vegetation and diverse wildlife. Cedar and juniper trees, in particular, form the characteristic flora of the plateau. The plateau may also host various endemic plant species. The geographical location of Feslikan Plateau makes it remarkable both for its proximity to Antalya and its mountainous structure. The high altitude of the plateau provides cool and fresh air even in summer.
