Teke Peninsula (Turkish: Teke Yarımadası), also known as Teke Region (Turkish: Teke Yöresi), is a peninsula located in southwestern Turkey between the gulfs of Antalya and Fethiye extending into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered to the Turkish Lakes Region in the north.[1]
It was known as Lycia in ancient times. Its name comes from the Teke Tribe, a Turkmen tribe that settled in the region during the Sultanate of Rum.[1]
The main streams of the region are Alakır Creek in the east and Eşen Creek in the west.[1]
