Whether you’re drawn by adventure, nature, or history, this seaside gem offers a unique getaway off the beaten path.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the Hellenistic period, Olympus was once a thriving Lycian city. Over centuries, it was shaped by Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences, leaving behind mysterious tombs, temples, and a sprawling amphitheater tucked between mountains and riverbeds. Walking among the ruins, you can easily sense the echoes of ancient civilizations that once called this place home.

Best Time to Visit

Olympus enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, making it ideal to visit from April to June or September to October. Summers can be quite hot, while spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. If you prefer swimming and sunbathing, late spring and early autumn are just right for enjoying the sea.

The simplest way is to fly into Antalya and then take a bus or taxi south toward Kemer. From there, local minibuses can bring you directly to the site. The journey is scenic and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
