Feke Kalesi — Local services in Feke

Finally, a place where Game of Thrones wasn't filmed has remained off the tourist map and no tacky souvenir shops!

This is a must-see; you won't get the same experience in another five years.

I recommend parking near the wooden sign pointing to the castle (space for two or three cars).

We had the entire ruins to ourselves.

The castle is perched high up on a mountain and truly is imposing, especially considering that what is left is only ruins.

This is entirely natural, so no steps, no signs, no rubbish or pollution (yet), you'll need to scramble up a steep embankment to find the path leading into the entrance (currently unlocked).

It was initially built in the 12th century to control the caravan route, built for the first time by the Byzantines and then used by the Seljuks. It shows a rectangular plan. It has eight bastions and a watchtower. Today, more than half of these bastions are buried in the ground.

Traces of building remains inside the castle. We explored the ruins currently being repaired (currently on hold due to Covid).

The views from this are simply awe-inspiring, and photos/videos don't capture that feeling you'll experience.

The silence and solitude with magnificent 360-degree views ensure this will be a highlight of our adventures in Turkey.

Please don't bring children unless you're prepared to lose one, as there are no safety barriers, and the rocks underfoot make walking a true adventure.

You rarely get to experience such beauty alone in a country with...

Anciennement connu sous le nom de Vahka, le château a été dirigé par de nombreuses civilisations, dont les Hittites, les Perses, Alexandre le Grand, les Romains, les Byzantins et les Ottomans. Rectangulaire en plan, avec huit tours et une tour de guet, le château est construit sur une colline escarpée à 1270 mètres d'altitude. Son entrée sinueuse, qui facilite la défense, et les falaises environnantes sont notables pour son apparence frappante. Utilisé pendant la période ottomane, le château a récemment été restauré pour préserver son...

Feke Kalesi ilçemizi geçtikten 3 km sonra , buradan geçen kervan yolunu kontrol etmek amacıyla XII. yüzyılda yapılmıştır. İlk kez Bizanslıların yaptırdığı, sonra da Selçukluların kullandığı kaledir. Dikdörtgen bir plan düzeni gösterir. Sekiz burcu ve bir gözetleme kulesi vardır. Günümüzde bu burçların yarıdan fazları toprağa gömülmüş durumdadır. Kale içerisinde yapı kalıntılarının izleri bulunmaktadır. Tek giriş kapısı güney yönündenir. Yolu fena değil nerdeyse girişine kadar yol asfalt sadece çok dik virajlı.. manzara olarak diyecek birşey yok enfes bi doğa görüntüsü çiziyor kale size ama kale içi bitmiş durumda harabeden farkı yok talan etmişlerdir...
