Olympos is a legendary travel destination in Turkey with unique experiences

Olympos is one of Turkey’s most mystical coastal destinations. This ancient Lycian city, nestled between pine forests and turquoise waters, is famous for its vine-covered ruins, the eternal Flames of Chimaera, and the breathtaking Tahtalı Mountain cable car. Antalya Tour World gives you exclusive access to Olympos’ wonders. As a specialist in the region, we offer everything from archaeological walks and sunset hikes to family-friendly beach days and adrenaline-fueled adventures.

Our Olympos Discovery Tour combines a guided visit to the 2,400-year-old ruins with a hike to the mythological Yanartaş flames. The Lycian, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations have all left their mark here. You’ll explore ancient theaters, temple remains, and hidden coves along the coast. After exploring, relax at Çıralı Beach’s pristine shores or enjoy fresh seafood at a family-run beachfront restaurant.
