Explore the Olympos Ancient City.

The ancient city of Olympos was one of the 8 big Lycian cities in the history and is much bigger than you see while walking to the beach. The city is divided into two main parts with a river as south and north.

The Olympos harbour is also known as a “pirate center” in history because it stayed under the control of pirates for almost 100 years and was saved by the Roman Commander Isauricus. The temple gate, the theatre, the southern and northern necropolis, the necropolis church, the entrance complex, the alcestis sarcophagus, the monumental graves of the harbour, the harbour basilica, the southern slope settlement, the bathhouse with mosaic pavements and the agora that have reached today from ancient times, are the important structures worth to see. The excavations are still going on in the city.

Ancient City of Olympos, which is included on the UNESCO Tentative List in 2009, is one of the outstanding universal values of Turkey.
