Akdağ, the second highest peak in Western Antalya after Kizilar Sivrisi, is on the Gömbe Plateau of Kaş, at an altitude of 3024 meters.
Karst formations are common in Akdağ, a mountain where long rocky ridges meet at the summit. On the hill are glacial valleys, moraines and humps. Akdağ, which is an extension of Beydağları and rising majestically between Kaş and Fethiye, seems inaccessible from afar, but with fertile green areas and geographical richness at the foothills, it is the accommodation place for transhumance. While the plateaus are a place for the district residents to escape from the heat in the summer months, they offer impressive views with their clean mountain air, lush nature and countless beauties. Every year, nature lovers and photography enthusiasts and residents of the district flock to Gömbe Plateau, built on the foothills at an altitude of 1200 meters and famous for apple, pear and cedar trees.
Being very productive in water resources, Akdağ also draws attention to rich lakes. Along with lakes such as Kartal, Yeşilgöl, Büyük Karagöl, Sarı Göl, Küçük Karagöl, İkizgöller and Bucak Lake, Akdağ is described as the 'Land of Lakes' with large and small lakes with many unnamed lakes. Although the water of some of the lakes decreases in the late summer months, it is possible to find plenty of water in a few, such as Yeşilgöl and Büyük Karagöl.
Akdağ harbours another hidden beauty. The waterfall, called Uçarsu, which means 'flying water' because it turns into a waterfall by gushing towards the sky from a source close to the peaks of Akdağ, amazes those who see it as it glides through the rocks.
