Join us for an unforgettable journey through the enchanting landscapes of ancient and mythological Turkey. Our tour begins with a visit to the ancient town of Phaselis. Founded by the Rhodians in 690 BC, Phaselis boasts three harbors: the old harbour, also known as the North Harbour, the Small Harbour, and the South Harbour. As we explore this historic city, you'll be captivated by its rich heritage and stunning seaside views.
After our morning in Phaselis, we will stop at a local restaurant to enjoy a delightful lunch featuring traditional Turkish cuisine. Following lunch, our adventure continues to the ancient city of Olympos.
Situated near the majestic Mount Olympos, the city of Olympos was established during the Hellenistic period. The mountain itself serves as the natural border between Pamfilya and Lycian regions. We will take a short break for tea at Ulupinar, a local paradise known for its lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere. Our journey then leads us to the bay of Olympos and the city, where ancient ruins are seamlessly integrated into the surrounding nature.
As the day progresses, we will head to Chimera, also known as the Fire of the Glory. This mystical site, where the natural gas seeps from the rock face, igniting and producing eternal flames, is bound to leave a lasting impression. Visitors often describe a sense of awe and wonder as they sit on platforms under the floating spring water, surrounded by the serene and cheerful tones of nature.
This unique experience offers a glimpse into the captivating blend of history, mythology, and natural beauty that defines this region. It's a journey you will always remember.
