THE TAURUS MOUNTAINS

Jan 28, 2023

One of my earliest childhood memories were my family driving through Taurus Mountains in Southern Turkey.

Out of our entire journey from the UK to Turkey – this was one of the most memorable. Why? Because of the exhilaration of the drive through the winding and perilous roads of this mountain.

I think now if I did the same journey I would probably mortified, but as a child I was fascinated. They eventually built motorways – but to me it was an adventure!

The mountain complex is named Taurus after Latin for Bull.

What a nice memory, and what an adventure to be taken on as a kid. How old were you at the time`?

  My dad is Turkish, so we visited family regularly. (never stayed in the tourist sites). I remember the travelling from when I was very young up to my teenage years – they built the motorways later. I got to see Mersin in Turkey before it became a big tourist area, when it was forest , I experienced the cultural side and even caught on to the language because I was so young.
