Çimi Highland draws a different profile than many highlands in terms of its geographical features, 14 km from Antalya's Akseki district.
At an altitude of 1,450 meters, the highland evokes an extraordinary feeling for the visitors with the harsh nature and the barren-looking, desolate, yet magnificent mountains surrounding it. Çimi Highland is home to snowdrop flowers, whose homeland is known as Akseki. These elegant flowers, which open on snowy winter days and represent courage and endurance, add a completely different visuality to the highland.
Çimi Highlands, where those who want to get away from the noise of the city and stay alone in a quiet environment will find silence and peace, is a very suitable area for camping and daily walks. Witnessing the changing colors of the sky while watching the sunrise and sunset in the middle of the stillness, watching the unnoticed sparkling stars in the city while looking at the dark sky at night is a perfect way to connect with nature freely.
Traditionally, Çimi Highland Festivals are held to transfer the customs and traditions from generation to generation, integrate the people of the region, and introduce the local culture and the geographical richness of the region to wider masses. The festivities welcome hundreds of visitors each year.
Çimi Highland is also very famous for its honey and cheese. Organic honey is on the highland, where there are thousands of beehives. It reaches a certain number in the colony. The bees are taken to the highlands and spend a few months in the clean mountain air. Although it varies according to climatic conditions, honey is usually harvested in mid-August, and the bees are taken back to the warm regions of Akseki.
On the other hand, the highlanders store the cheese they make from the milk of their animals fed in their natural environment in the summer months. The temperature drops to minus ten degrees in the snow sinkholes and serves as cold storage. This preservation process adds a distinctive flavor unique to the region.
