The ecoregion lies mainly in the Taurus Mountains, which run through southern Anatolia roughly parallel to the coast. The Taurus is divided into three sub-ranges - the Western, or Isaurian, Taurus (highest peak Mt. Kizlarsivrisi ); the Central, or Lycian, Taurus (highest peak Medetsiz ); and the Eastern, or Cilician, Taurus (highest peak Demirkazık ).
