Olympos Private Tour

Olympos Ancient City: As you walk through the ruins of Olympos, your guide will reveal the story of this once-great Lycian city, founded in the Hellenistic period and later becoming part of the Roman Empire. Olympos was a prominent city in the Lycian League, known for its strategic port and trade routes. You’ll explore ancient city walls, a necropolis filled with Lycian tombs, and the remnants of temples and houses. Your guide will delve into the fascinating mythology of the region, such as the legend of the hero Bellerophon and his winged horse Pegasus, said to have lived in the nearby mountains.

Roman Theater: Though much of the theater is in ruins, you can still get a sense of the grandeur it once held. The theater was built to host large-scale performances, and your guide will explain the role of entertainment in Lycian and Roman society. You’ll also have a chance to admire the theater’s position overlooking the sea, with views that stretch out over the coastline.

Olympos Beach: After exploring the ancient city, you’ll have time to unwind at Olympos Beach, famous for its turquoise waters and pebbly shores. Nestled between steep cliffs and dense forests, the beach is a haven of tranquility. You can take a swim, enjoy a leisurely walk along the shore, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking surroundings. Your guide will provide insight into the unique ecosystem of the area, pointing out the rare plants and wildlife that call Olympos home.

Chimera (Optional): Depending on your interests, your guide can also take you to the nearby site of the Chimera, an eternal flame that has been burning for thousands of years due to natural gas emissions from the rocks. This mythical site was believed to be the lair of the fire-breathing creature, the Chimera, and has been a place of legend since ancient times.
