STILL DAY SEVEN of the Beaches & Ruins Road Trip: OLYMPOS. Because of the small “temporary” spare tire on the car, I drove sloooowly (not over 80KMH) from Uçagiz to Olympos. It would NOT be good to get another flat since I am quite sure we need four tires to continue on, and at this point …

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Donald (Australia), Ertan (Turkey) Having reached the turn off for Olympos, Ertan and I disembarked from the dolmush at a little roadside cafe and were told that the next shuttle bus was due in 30 minutes. We ordered some tea and Ertan ca…

I think I have sufficiently relaxed enough.  In fact - I believe I am starting to move in slow motıon at this point.  Luckily I am off to Cappadocia tonight for a little more site-seeing before heading back to Istanbul to catch what I hope is a flight to Cairo.  Aside from spending …

Leaving fairly early in the morning from Kaş to go to Olympos. A small town along the coast. I got there around lunch time and relaxed a bit the rest of the day going down to the sea to check out the water - it was wet and warm as expected.         &…

On my last night in Olympos we made the climb up to Chimera, the Eternal Flame. My fever came back quite strong, according to Tamara, I only felt so very very cold. I wore nearly all the clothes I had, and borrowed Jamie's jacket on top of that. It was so hard climbing up the mountain side, eve…

Breakfast at Kadirs was a freshly prepared omelette and was shared not with loads of other backpackers (as the season doesn’t really kick off until after ANZAC day) but construction workers ��" all the guys working for Kadir to rebuild his business. We would loved to have stayed longer (espe…

Günaydin or 'good morning'!.  Got up at 7 a.m. in order to see the beach with the rising sun and in broad daylight.  Hadn't seen it that way the day before because it was allready dark,  but I did swim at 9.3O p.m. and it was quite an adventure to find the right road from my pension…

great architecture and history

For some reason, travbuddy does not have Cirali, so I had to choose Olympos instead. Maybe it's because this small village is too small and thus, too ignored. Cirali is a half-hour walk on the beach from Olympos. I highly recommend staying at Cirali and visiting Olympos. Here's why:- Olympos beach …
