The Pontic Mountains (Turkish: Kuzey Anadolu Dağları meaning North Anatolian Mountains) form a mountain range in northern Anatolia Turkey; also known as the Parhar Mountains in the local Turkish and Pontic Greek languages. The term Parhar originates from a Hittite word meaning high or summit. In antiquity the mountains were called the Paryadres or Parihedri Mountains.
