Abstract The Plio-Quaternary travertines are exposed in the vast area around the Antalya region. Travertine is the major subgrade formation in this area. For geological and geotechnical purposes the Antalya travertine can be divided into three different groups and these are spongy, weak, and massive travertine. Geomorphogically the travertine is dissected into four major plateau, namely Dösemealti, Varsak, Düden, and Arapsuyu. The study is specially based on the geological and geotechnical properties of the Lara travertine included in the Düden plateau. The upper most spongy travertines locally can be mixed with underlying weak travertines. The massive travertines are dominantly micritic and brownish and beige in colour. The weak travertine comprises block, gravel, sand, and silt-grade materials coming from massive travertines. Rock Quality Disignation for spongy is “poor”, weak and massive is “fair”. Unit weight in order is 13.2, 15.6 and 19.9 kN/$ m^{3} $. Mean porosity is between 52.47% and 25.23% and all of the travertines are “extremely porous”. Mean permeability in order is 78.4, 42.2, and 8.2 litre/minute. Schmidt hardness of spongy is “very soft”, weak is “soft”, and massive is “moderate”. The uniaxial test results range between 2.37 and 19.0 MPA. The massive travertine is classified as “middle modulus ratio” and “very low strength”.
