Chimera (Yanartaş):
Chymera is an ongoing mythological reality on top of a hill with the natural flames stinging out among the rocks. It is recommended to make a trip to Chymera especially when there is full moon; with your friends, beloveds, and a bottle of wine it will become more stimulating. You would need sneakers and a hand lamp only. Mild slope walking track is approximately 1 km. If there are enough participants, we can arrange tours from Countryhouse some nights, or you can also find out other tours from Olympos too.
It’s another ancient city built up by Rhodians, 24 km far away from Olympos Countryhouse. It was used as a port by Lycians, and now you can see the ruins spread around three amazing bays surrounded by pine and cedar trees.
In 12 kms far from Olympos, you can find a green oasis laying upon pulsing lush waters. It’s also famous for the fish restaurants and their relaxing large sofas settled on the wooden arbours with old shadowy plane trees. Ulupınar is great for passing a deadly hot summer noon meanwhile enjoying the delicious food.
This is an ancient city closer to Finike area, and the meaning of its name explains it the best: “the place near the high rocks”. So you can enjoy the ancient ruins together with a relaxing mountain view.
Lymra is another ancient city close to Arykanda, but especially what make it different are the beautiful ancient rock tombs.
Build up again by the Rhodians, this ancient city takes place on the Kumluca area 23 km to Countryhouse. With the nice mountain view you can feel a mythical experience there.
Adrasan is a nice bay really close to Olympos. The beach looks like Olympos but the region is in a way different than here, a bit more sluggish. But if you are planning to make a boat excursion, it is the right place to take the boat.
It’s a natural canyon 45km far from Olympos. This beautiful place is available for doing canyoning and some other nature sports.
There are traditional food bazaars in which you can find organic vegetables and fruits; every Friday in Kumluca, every Monday in Kemer. We go there each week and you can join us of course.
