Even though there is a WWF program here, there still seems to be a lot of rubbish on the ground! Stupid people!
In a nutshell
yes, but only one day
Yanartaş, Chimera or Burning Rocks
dutchboycalledjan Says: Visiting this ancient site is strangely rewarding. We parked our car after a ten minutes drive at the entrance of the park, paid our fees and started to climb the old ceremonial stairs. Sometimes it has all but gone, some times there are high steps. It is advisable to wear...
mtncorg Says: Phasaelis is a popular ruin since it is close enough to the large numbers of beach hotels at Kemer. It can get a bit overrun, as a result, with tourists during the season. Lots of people come over from Kemer on one of the boat trips. Interpretative signs are in Turkish and...

mtncorg Says: The beach and the river entering into the seas are the two main things one remembers from a visit here, but he ruins of one of the most important Lycian towns are also fascinating. Founded in the 2nd century BC, the city was a center for those of the Hephaistos cult due to...
mtncorg Says: Methane gases have been seeping up from the ground in two fields not far above the beaches of Çýralý. The first fire field is reached after a walk of 20-30 minutes uphill – gain is about 250 meters – and is located just above the ruins of a temple dedicated to the fire and...
mtncorg Says: At 2366 meters high, Tahtali Dað stands out in the Beydaðlaý. Once atop you have magnificent views from Antalya far to sea on a clear day. It was on this hill – then known as Mount Olympos – that Bellerophon earned the wrath of the gods by trying to ride his winged horse...
mtncorg Says: I keep reading about the ‘beautiful sand beach’ that links Olimbos and Çýralý. I guess ‘sand’ is a relative term when speaking of European beaches, but where I come from this beach contains a rather fair share of rocks that have not made it down to the level of sand grains...
ozalp Says: Cirali (Olympos) beach extend in North-South direction approximately. The sea in on the East and on the West the view is only mountains and trees. So if you can wake up early you can experience something different here.Sun rises over the sea in Olympos. I woke up early in my...
ozalp Says: We walked the path in the evening, as advised. After 45 minutes of climbing we reached an open location. It was crowded. People were talking loudly, laughing, walking all around us. I noticed the flames and I concentrated on them. After a while I realized that we were alone...
ozalp Says: It's almost two years after our Olympos trip, and today suddenly I remembered this place. It was our first stop in Olympos. We jumped out the car and drank mixed, fresh fruit juices here. My friends had been told me about this place on the road. It was their custom to pick...
Hayriye's: Gozleme: Turkish Pancake
ozalp Says: This restaurant is located near the beach. It is on the line when you are walking on the beach between Cirali and the ruins. It has a big garden with some tables. They cook Turkish pancake (gozleme) with cheese, vegetable, potatoes, meat, chocolate, molasses (pekmez in...
Delicious fish under old trees by the water:)
revontulet Says: In Ulupinar village, where is very close to Olympos, you'll find many restaurants serving fish, esp. trout fish. It's really nice sitting by the pools, watching the fish and decide which one you'll have and moreover when outside temperature is around 45 C, you'll stay around...
amesian Says: When i was in Olympos i went to Bull Bar.its just near the Kadirs Tree Houses.it is an open air disco.They lit a camp fire in the middle of the dance floor and people dance around the camp fire.The music was also fine.i think its the most popular and best place to enjoy the...
