Belen Pass
The Belen Pass, also known as the Syrian Gates and Amanus Pass, is a mountain pass located in the Belen District of Hatay Province in south-central Turkey. The narrow pass through the Nur Mountains, said to be 300 paces across, is the most important route from the coastal region of Cilicia to inland Syria. The pass is perhaps best known as the point through which Alexander the Great pursued the forces of Darius III of Persia after the Battle of Issus.
