Olympos Ancient City
Olympos Antik Kenti
The ruins of a Lycian city hidden in a river valley's dense forest. A walk through the site leads to a pebble beach where sea turtles nest, and the nearby village is known for its treehouse hostels.
Olympos was once an important city of the Lycian League. Its ruins are scattered among laurel and oleander groves on both banks of a stream. Temple gates, rock-cut tombs, Byzantine churches and the remains of a bishop's palace emerge through the trees. Walking through the site brings you to Olympos Beach, where sea turtles lay their eggs. The nearby village of Olympos is famous for its treehouse accommodation. Admission is charged in euros (includes beach access). Opening hours are approximately 8:00–19:00, and close earlier in winter. It is about 80 km from Antalya and can be combined with the Chimaera flames and the Tahtalı cable car.
