About this attraction

Olympos Ancient City

Olympos is a Lycian port-city at the foot of Mount Olympos (Tahtalı, 2,366 m). The ruins line a small river that flows into a protected pebble cove — pomegranate trees grow between the wall remnants, and Roman sarcophagi sit half-submerged in spring run-off. The Lycian Way coastal path passes straight through. Combines naturally with the Chimera eternal flames at Çıralı.

Opening hours
Daily 09:00–19:00 summer, 09:00–17:00 winter.
