Honaz Mountain National Park

Honaz Mountain (Honaz Dağı), the highest point of the Aegean Region has a unique place in terms of its steep slopes, waterfalls, rich flora and fauna, and geological features. If it is a National Park, it consists of Honaz Mountain and its surroundings located within the boundaries of the Pamukkale and Serinhisar districts. The slopes of the mountain covered with forests show a rich plant diversity due to their special climatic conditions. Many endemic plant species are found, including red pine, larch, oak and juniper. Three plant species that grow only on Honaz Mountain in the world; Ballıbaba, Beeftail and Saffron were identified. In addition, animal species such as wild goats, wild boars, badgers, foxes, rabbits and martens, as well as different species of songbirds and predators can be seen. Colossae Ancient City (Colossae Antik Kenti), one of the most important centers of Great Phrygia, is located within the borders of the National Park. Honaz Mountain National Park (Honaz Dağı Milli Parkı), with its slopes and waterfalls, is very suitable for nature walks, bicycle tours and camping.
