These two summits face each other and are separated by a flood valley, which led to the term "mountain range" to be used in some sources in association with Babadağ.

It is noted for its rich flora, including the endemic Acer undulatum, and forests of Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani).

It is also notable for the proximity of its summit to the sea (less than 5 km) which is one of the factors that make it particularly suitable and popular for paragliding.

The range of Anticragus and Cragus is represented in the map in Spratt and Forbes[5] as running south from the neighbourhood of Telmissus, and forming the western boundary of the lower basin of the river Xanthus.

Beaufort's examination of this coast began at Yediburun, which means "the Seven Capes", a knot of high and rugged mountains that appear to have been the ancient Mount Cragus of Lycia.

The side towards the sea is so steep, that from this lofty summit the waves are seen breaking white against the base of this precipitous mountain mass.

Stage three of the 2023 Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye took a 104.1 kilometre route from Fethiye to the highest point on the road up Babadağ.
