Taurus Mountains, called as Toros in Turkish, is a mountain range in the Mediterranean region of Turkey, running approximately 560 kms parallel to the coast, and forming the southern border of the Anatolian plateau. Rising at the western-most range of the Great Himalayas, it is Turkey´s second chain of folded mountains after Pontus mountains. The range starts from Egridir lake in the west and extends to the upper side of the Euphrates (Firat) River in the east after making a long curve. (Location: between Beyşehir and Akseki)
