Olimpos is known for a pristine little beach, a pine forest full of tumbledown marble temples, tree house-hotels, and the Chimera, a natural flame that has burned ceaselessly for millennia.
Located 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Antalya on Turkey's Mediterranean coast not far from Phaselis (map), Olimpos is a village set 7 km (4 miles) off the highway among pines, citrus orchards and farmers' fields.
A little stream flows through a rocky gorge and reaches the Mediterranean at a beautiful beach. (More photos)
"Discovered" by backpackers on a budget, Olimpos became popular early on for its tree-house camps and pensions, the most famous of which is the renowned Kadir's Tree House (but Bayram's is also well-regarded).
Tree houses offer a variety of comfort levels, and where else can you live in a tree with an Internet connection?
The prettiest, most comfortable accommodation here is Olimpos Lodge.
The Chimera (Yanartas), a natural eternal flame located on a mountainside about 7 km (4.3 miles) from Olimpos village, was easily visible by mariners at sea in ancient times it, but today it has dwindled to a series of tiny flames, a less impressive but still remarkable natural phenomenon.
The best way to visit Olimpos is by car because it's 7 km (2.5 miles) south of the coastal highway. If you're going by bus from the north (Antalya, Kemer, Phaselis) or from the west (Kas, Kalkan, Demre) you should ask the driver to let you off at the road to Olimpos.
In summer, taxis and minibuses usually wait at this junction and at the restaurant on the highway to shuttle travelers to Olimpos proper for about YTL3. They usually meet the bus arrivals and departures, if possible. Otherwise, try to arrive by mid-afternoon and hitch a ride.
