OLYMPOS

One of the prettiest and the most remote sites in this part of Turkey, Olympos combines an Indiana Jones site with a good beach and great scenery. Located in the middle of a national park area the site is set on both sides of a stream which is fed by the surrounding hills. Never really excavated, much of the area is covered in fairly dense woodland which gives it the air of an unexplored, secret place. It's nice to be able to combine exploring with swimming and sunbathing and the nearby village of Cirali makes a good base, 10 minutes walk along the beach and with a much wider range of accommodation than that offered by Olympos itself.

Olympos was one of the most easterly of the Lycian cities (see Xanthos) and takes its name from Mount Olympos of Lycia, now known as Tahtali Dag. The city was dedicated to Hephaestus, god of the forge, to whose presence was attributed to the ever burning flames of the Chimaera, located in the other side of Cirali.
