Olympos & Chimera | Magical Ancient City & Eternal Flames Adventure
Discover the perfect mix of history and nature on the Olympos & Chimera tour. Start your journey at the ancient city of Olympos from Antalya, once a major Lycian settlement and later part of the Roman Empire. Wander among ruins hidden in lush greenery, explore Roman baths, tombs, and the theatre, and enjoy free time at the stunning Olympos Beach, a nesting site for endangered sea turtles.
Afterward, head to Chimaera (Yanartaş), a natural wonder where eternal flames fuelled by underground methane have burnt for over 2,500 years. Ancient sailors once used these flames as a natural lighthouse, and they are said to have inspired the myth of the fire-breathing Chimaera. The evening climb to see the flames under the night sky is a truly unforgettable experience.
