Olympos

Located in the Kumluca district of Antalya, Olympos is one of the most special spots in the Mediterranean with its historical ruins and enchanting nature. Olympos, one of the important cities of the Lycian League, has witnessed pirate attacks, as well as the Roman and Byzantine periods since the 2nd century BC, carrying its mystical atmosphere to the present day.

The ancient city captivates its visitors with its ruins hidden between pine forests and the sea. Among the most striking structures of Olympos are the Ancient Theatre, temple ruins, tomb monuments, and Roman bath. The Olympos River, which runs through the city, served as a port in ancient times.

One of the most special spots in Olympos is Yanartaş (Chimera). The flames that have never gone out for centuries due to natural gas leaking from the slope are described in mythology as the breath of the legendary creature Chimera.

Today, Olympos is an ideal destination for nature and adventure lovers with its extraordinary tree houses, beach, trekking, and rock climbing opportunities. If you want to explore historical and natural beauties together, Olympos Ancient City should definitely be on your list! 🏛🌿🔥
