A mountain covered in bay laurel and maquis that descends steeply to the sea between Samandağ and Arsuz; village roads and paths offer hiking opportunities.

Safety warning

There are few waymarked paths; do not set out on long hikes without a guide, and do not light fires in summer because of the risk of forest fires.

Its story

Musa Dağı forms the southern end of the Amanos range, extending to the Mediterranean. On its slopes are villages such as Vakıflı, Kapısuyu and Hıdırbey, monumental trees and bay laurel forests. The mountain gained international fame through Franz Werfel's novel telling of the resistance in 1915. From the higher parts, the Asi delta and the Samandağ coast are seen in a wide panorama.
