It was an important city of the Lycian Federation, at the foot of Mount Olympos(Tahtalı Dağ) on whose flank flames burn that never go out. This strange natural phenomenon, perhaps due to methane gas escaping from the cracks in the rock, has been observed since ancient times and subsequently prompted the inhabitants of the region to worship Hephaestus (Vulcan in the Romans), god of fire and blacksmiths. There is only one road from the beach to the exit of Olympos. The buses that pass on the main road (Ana Yol) will drop you off at the crossroads and then you have to take a dolmus. As for Çıralı, remember to withdraw cash before
