Harman Kaya is located between Tatul and Perperikon.

Harman Kaya

The Legend

It is assumed there was a connection between them, since the Harman Kaya cult complex and the Sanctuary of Orpheus near Tatul began functioning at the same time – about 6,000 years ago.

Near the sanctuary you can see a rock resembling a human palm with 13 carved niches.

Directly in front of them there is a well-preserved round altar.
