If the origins of Olympos are unclear, it is certain that its port was very important in the Lycian League. The site is accessible via a narrow gorge, the bed to a river, dry in summer. The ruins are located in a charming and shady setting on either side of the river that flows directly into the sea. Heading towards the beach, the right bank is home to a vast necropolis, an amphitheatre, thermal baths and pontoons. On the left bank are the acropolis, another necropolis, a temple from the time of Marcus Aurelius and the Byzantine baths.

Le site débouche sur une belle et grande plage avec la mer chaude (il y a d’ailleurs un chemin direct pour y aller). Ne pas oublier la serviette et les sandales plastiques (ou de la corne aux pieds), car c’est une plage de gravillons qui cisaillent les pieds.
Le site en lui même est envahi par la végétation, mais cela vaut quand même le coup : on peut se prendre pour Indiana Jones.
Inconvénient, il n’y avait plus de plans à l’entrée (en avril) et ce n’est pas forcément facile de repérer tous les monuments (malgré des panonceaux sur place)
