About Ancient Olympos
Olympos is an ancient Lycian city laid out along a stream valley that runs down to the sea near Çıralı, in the Kumluca district. It was one of the six leading cities of the Lycian League that held three votes. The ruins are scattered among trees and streamside vegetation inside Beydağları Coastal National Park, protected since 1972. Visitors can see Roman baths, the remains of a temple, early Byzantine churches with mosaic floors and necropolis areas lined with sarcophagi. The valley opens onto the beach, and the Yanartaş (Chimaera) flames nearby make a separate stop. It is about 40 km by road from Kemer (roughly 42 minutes).
Highlights

Visiting tips
The ruins are scattered through woodland and along the stream, so wear comfortable closed shoes, and pack swimwear and a towel if you plan to go down to the beach. Summers can be hot and humid, so carry water. It combines well on the same day with the Tahtalı cable car to the north.
