About the resort Olympos

@ Once upon a time, around the 3rd century BC. e. Olympos was a member of the Lycian Union, minted his coins and used pirates as a shipyard. The leader of the Cilician pirates Zenitsetis kept Olympos under his control until the Romans invaded. The Romans fought against pirates for 4 years, eventually drove Zenitsetis into the fortress and set it on fire. However, this did not stop the pirates. Only the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire were able to cope with the pirates

The ruins of Olympos are now the National Park. In connection with finding the status of the National Park, Olympos came under state supervision and is protected by the law, which prohibits the development of mass tourism in the area. Exceptions are only small boarding houses

Types of resorts Olympos and Chirali

The resort is located on the slope of Takhtali mountain (formerly called Olympos), 80 km from Antalya towards Kemer . This isolated place is a real paradise . Here you can see orange groves, and on the beach you can meet turtles . On the way to Olympos you can observe a lot of local attractions - ancient Roman and medieval marble ruins scattered through pine forests . Such a pristine clean beach, gently turquoise water and calm like fresh milk, you will not see the sea even in Marmaris on the Aegean islands .

Now it is a favorite place for free recreation of young people from all over the world, but occasionally it is visited by families with children.

The village is often visit mountaineers, because opposite one of the boarding houses (Bayram's Tree Houses) is a very attractive for them rock. The beach is also a favorite place for yoga and hippy followers - they organize festivals every year

Olympos hotels

There are no hotels in the usual sense . There is a huge amount small boarding houses consisting of bungalows and wooden houses . Houses located on trees (the so-called tree houses) are very popular because they help people to be closer to nature . Despite the seeming simplicity of rest, recommended in advance nirovanie (2-4 months .) . Olympos Pensions operate year round . The most famous resorts: Kadir's Tree Houses, Turkmen Tree Houses and Bayram's Tree Houses .Bungalows are equipped with a bathroom . There are no lavatories in the lodge in the trees . There are showers and toilets for their inhabitants in the resorts .

Do not be afraid of wooden houses. Despite their external simplicity, some of them have air conditioning, minibar (charge), telephone. On the territory of the resort there is a post office, internet, ATM. Some hotels have WiFi.

Olympos's beaches

Pebble beach of Olympos is one of the best on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It is quite tame, very quiet and clean. The length of the beach is about 3 kilometers. One of the few places in the country where you can see sea turtles. Large marine reptiles Caretta-Caretta (Caretta) - the second after the tomb symbol of Lycia. In June they lay eggs for the future offspring on the Olympos beach, so be careful. I would also like to mention the possibility of large enough and beautiful yachting trips on the route Olympos-Fethiye

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Olympos

Pensions located in the national park, where the ancient Lycian tombs, the ruins of the acropolis, the theater are preserved ... The park is divided into two parts by the mountain river Gyoksu (heavenly water). The entrance to the park from Olympos is chargeable. Cost: 3 TL per day or 5 TL per week

Passage to the beach is through the national park, which means that you will have to buy a ticket.
The road from the nearest to the sea guest house to the beach is at least 500 meters in places under the open sun. Stock up with water! You can not drive up to the beach by the car, you have to park it in a specially equipped parking lot at the ticket offices

The legendary "must see" - the gorge of Yanartash mountain (burning rock), located just above the old city. For many centuries this place terrified people, especially those who visited it at night. This gorge is inextricably linked with the name of the mythical fire-breathing creature - the Chimera. Having risen in the gorge, you can see the flames that are flaring up, then go out, regardless of the time of year and hour. Especially spectacular it looks in the twilight. Directly at the mountain of Chimera are the ruins of an ancient fortress. Entrance fee, the cost is about 2 USD per person.

Calculate your strength. The ascent takes about 1, 5 hours. Despite the fact that all the way to set up shops for rest, climb (especially in summer on a hot sunny day) is quite difficult.
It was difficult for me to climb the Chimera mountain at my age of 28. I advise to take water with me or drink tea, which is offered at the beginning of the excursion

There are a variety of eateries and cafes, but again we remind you that this is not a luxury vacation.

@ How to get "to civilization"

From Olympos to the main road from the boarding house Bayram's Tree Houses once a hour goes dolmush (minibus), which takes you to the main road. On the road you can transfer to the transport in the direction of Antalya or from it. The fare is 3 TL (60 rubles).

You can also rent a car and drive by yourself in the neighborhood.

Please note that very expensive gasoline is in Turkey. In terms of rubles it costs about 60 rubles per liter. You will not get a car with a full tank, but with enough gasoline, which will only reach the nearest gas station. You can return the car with any amount of petrol.
There is no service in Olympos itself. To rent a car, you need to get to the village of Cirali on the beach. In the summer, this journey is quite difficult because of the heat: store water and patience. In the high season, prices for the most simple cars can be very high: bargain!
