The owner said I was the first Chinese person to come here.
💕Olympos was once popular among European and Australian tourists. At its peak, hundreds of people stayed up all night on the beach surrounded by mountains, lighting bonfires, dancing to music, and drinking while waiting for the sunrise. Now, it is more of a summer vacation spot for locals.
The streams flow into the sea, and the ancient city of Olympos in the mountains dates back to the 2nd century AD, so it is different from other coastal cities. It is built between the sea and the mountains.
It is also a sea turtle breeding reserve, without the resort vibe of a five-star hotel. If you like to get close to nature and embrace history, you can stay in a treehouse like me, walk through Roman ruins in the morning, and run to the sea for a swim. In the afternoon, rent a bike to explore the town or lie down in a homestay and pick fruit. It's best to go to Mount Chimaera National Park to watch the sunset at dusk. Be sure to wait until it gets dark. When night falls, look up at the stars and sit around the eternal fire to roast marshmallows! You know, the Olympic torch is said to have come from here! 🔥
