Tahtali Mountain and Chimera Lights!
On the second day of the trip you will see the beauty of Turkey from the heights by climbing Tahtali Mountain, which in ancient times was called Mount Olympus.
You will also visit an amazing sight: the Chimera Lights. And have a small picnic right on top of them.
Be sure to walk through the ruins of the town of Olympos. It's almost overgrown, but it still breathes history.
And Cape Helidonia, with its pirate harbour and lighthouse. These sights will not leave you indifferent!

Tahtali Mountain
It's time to climb the peaks! Or take a chairlift. Be sure to visit the local Olympus! From this mountain you have gorgeous views! Drinking coffee with goodies at the top, admiring the scenery from 2365 m above sea level - it's worth it!
Round trip tickets cost 32 euros for adults, 16 euros for children from 7 to 16 years old and free for under 7 years old. The road to the cable car comes from Faselis.

Chimera Lights
And now - another unique natural sight on the slopes of Yanartash mountain! A flame bursting out of the ground due to natural gas escaping to the surface. The fire locations periodically change, the fire almost dies down, then flares up again with renewed vigor.
This place has been known since ancient times and the gas has been burning for at least the last few thousand years. But earlier the flames were more intense, the highest lights reached 2 meters and even served as a lighthouse for ships coming to the bay.
Tourists now come here to have a picnic on a natural fire that does not need to be kindled! There is a stone-paved path up the hill to the place where the torches are lit. Entrance to the mountain is charged at 9 Turkish Liras (as of November 2020).
