This article is about the mountain range. For the national park, seeAladağlar National Park.
TheAnti-Taurus Mountains (fromGreek:Αντίταυρος) orAladaglar are a mountain range in southern and easternTurkey, curving northeast from theTaurus Mountains.[1]
At 12,851 feet (3,917 m),Mount Erciyes (Turkish: Erciyes Dağı) is the highest peak not just in the range but in central Anatolia as a whole. It is a massivestratovolcano located in the northern part of the Anti-Taurus. The ancient Greek geographer and historianStrabo wrote that in his time the summit was never free of snow and that the few climbers who ascended it could see both theBlack Sea and theMediterranean.[2]
