Olimpos Beydağları National Park

The national park spans 34,425 hectares along the Mediterranean coast, featuring limestone cliffs, dense forests, and pristine beaches between Sarısu and Cape Gelidonya.

Established in 1972, the park incorporates ancient settlements of Olympos, Phaselis, and Idyros, which flourished between the regions of Pamphylia and Lycia.

The park contains numerous Lycian rock-cut tombs and archaeological remains that demonstrate the architectural practices of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

Visitors can engage in activities such as hiking the Lycian Way, mountain climbing at Tahtalı Mountain, swimming at Adrasan Beach, or exploring archaeological sites.

Natural gas emanating from the ground at Yanartaş creates eternal flames, a geological phenomenon that has continued for thousands of years.
