It's a very beautiful place. There is an observation deck from the hill. But there are also a lot of confusing paths))

A ruined and forgotten city. Many buildings are under restoration and therefore entry is prohibited. On the slopes there are crypts that have long been looted or broken from time. On a large scale, but it brings sadness and thoughts about the transience of time and death. Such a paradise was inhabited by people and was abandoned by them. Even the coastline is beautiful. Riddle...

I liked the little theater. I think you need to be prepared to visit such places. Here is a pile of stones, this was once here. This is a brief description of everything that is there. You need more imagination to like it. The main problem is the price is too high in relation to the number of things that are there (you can run through and read everything in 15-20 minutes)

Olympos is not just another ancient ruin, but a very special place where ancient history merges with the lush Mediterranean nature. This ancient Lycian city is located a few kilometers from the quiet village of Cirali. The main feature of Olympos is its amazing atmosphere. The ruins of ancient temples and residential buildings literally grow through the dense greenery. Ivy wraps around the stone walls, and young shoots break through between the ancient sarcophagi. It is especially beautiful here in the early morning, when the sun's rays break through the foliage, illuminating the ancient stones. A small river flows through the whole city, flowing into the sea. On a hot day, it is especially pleasant to walk barefoot through its cool waters. At the end of the route, you will find a wild pebble beach with crystal clear waters, an ideal place to relax after sightseeing. Olympos is a place where you really feel the connection of the times. If you love history, nature and unusual places, be sure to include it in your itinerary. After exploring the ruins, you can relax in one of the cozy restaurants in Cirala and taste local cuisine.

I really liked that the Turks started excavations and restoration of the historical heritage. Olympos has changed a lot in recent years, a lot of things have been unearthed. I recommend you to visit.

The unreasonably expensive entrance is 10 euros, there is not much to see. There are many more interesting places in Turkey. I do not recommend a paid visit.

Olympos is good, definitely worth a visit. The ticket costs 490 liras, there is a multi-ticket for 10 entrances (do not be fooled by the cashier's story that 10 people can enter it several times). And more. Some maps have a detour path past the checkpoint. Find her....

It is a pity that there is little information on the Internet about this place. Lycian tombs are advertised, and there is a huge excavation area, an ancient city that creates a sense of presence in history. Today, archaeologists continue to excavate and actively restore. It is an amazing place near two beautiful beaches - Olympus and Cirali.

Beautiful ruins of an ancient city, a large square, there is a place to walk and see. Or you can climb the remains of the fortress by the sea and meet the dawn.

Not too fully excavated, but nevertheless an interesting ancient polis, with a necropolis, a portico of a Roman church and other things, deserves a walk

If you are vacationing in Antalya and have free time, then it is worth seeing these ruins, although almost everything is destroyed, in general, you can understand how it looked a couple of thousand years ago. I recommend swimming in the sea after visiting the ruins, there are interesting grottoes in the rocks.

Stratonikea, the city of peace, pedasso..this is only a part of the objects that can and should be visited. Compared to them, this museum is quite weak. They do not accept cards, only cash lira, there is a normal parking.. if you are limited in time, you will not lose anything

An authentic and picturesque place In high season, a visit costs 45 lira, in low season - 30 (prices for 2020 - I am sure they will increase in proportion to the fall of the Turkish currency in the future). Naturally, there is an opportunity to enter the territory for free. Go all the way to Cirala beach and get to Olympos beach. On one of the rocks you can see the ruins of the castle, move towards them along the fence. Very soon there will be a hole :) From the ruins of the castle itself, by the way, there is a beautiful view of the nearby bays

There is nothing much to see, ruins overgrown with forest. You can climb the remains of the fortress, if you have the courage and desire, from there you can see the beach and the bay. The beach is pebbly, pleasant

It is possible to sprinkle ancient ruins, it is considered a special chic, but toilets would still not hurt. This is a big minus. Otherwise, there are only advantages and positive impressions.

It's a bit expensive for such a small volume, the neighboring Phaselis is much more interesting for the same money. But both have a way to log in for free. Here you just need to cross the river on the beach and there is a pretty good trail through the bushes.

It was interesting to walk through the ruins, but it didn't have a wow effect. In general, you can go, but only on your own (by car) without an excursion. Entrance to the territory in September 2022 cost 90 liras, parking is free. The nearby beach is good, but renting an umbrella place costs 100 liras.

Very impressed by the ancient ruins in the vicinity of the village of Chiraly. Streets, tombs, a part of the embankment, a theater, and mosaics have been preserved - from the time of the Roman Empire. The fortress wall, which was built by pirates, has been partially preserved.

Good afternoon. Everything is fine with these people, but about our Antique Boulevard in Sevastopol. There was a project of this boulevard in Ukraine, and that was the end of it. Currently, it is abandoned, they are trying to build it up, will the current administration not fulfill the demob accord before leaving, leave a memory of itself. They're doing some little things, but there's a whole boulevard here, and they've been doing it for 10 years.🙏

It's a great place to explore the ancient city. If you go from the d400 highway to dolmush from Ciral, first ask the price, we charged 52 lira for two, although the reviews wrote 10 lira from one. Kemer and I drove for 60 liras for two, and here the descent is 5 minutes by bus))

Along with Perge and Aspendos, it is a great place for lovers of ancient history. But what will be your surprise when you walk through the ancient city and go to the beach. Clean water, silence and a view of the ancient ruins. There is another similar place nearby, Fesalis, there too, you definitely need to go.

Pay the money from the beach, and if you come on your own not from the Chirala side, there is no problem entering. It's a bit insulting, you don't always know such subtleties.
