I liked the upper lights better, which are not marked on Yandex maps (on maps.me there is). They are smaller, but: 1. Few people get there, because this is plus 180 meters of height along the paths and a few rocks. At the end of September, I was there alone for a while, around 6 p.m. It took 20 minutes to climb from the bottom, and the trekking poles came in handy, especially on the descent 2. Together with the view of the mountain formerly called Olympos, it gives a certain feeling of touching eternity, and not the barbecue area in the park as on the lower ones. The Legend feels better here: "The Greek hero Bellerophon, the son of King Glaucus of Corinth, marries the daughter of King Iobates of Lycia and frees the inhabitants of Lycia from the fire—breathing monster Chimera. He defeated this Chimera and buried it right in this place on the slope, and that's why there are lights coming out of the ground." But there is definitely something in the lower ones, too, I was surprised that they had a tent where you could buy a bottle of water for 50 lire.

A very unusual and beautiful place that is worth seeing! Lights in the dark are especially beautiful. Yandex may not set a route by car correctly - you need to drive through the entire village to the point 36.429363, 30.465081, where there are ticket offices and free gravel parking. The ascent to the lower lights takes about 30 minutes, and you need to walk up the stone steps, which are quite high and uneven. You need to have closed shoes, you can slip in flip-flops. It's okay to go up in the daytime, but it's very dangerous to go down in the dark. You must have a flashlight or at least a charged phone with you. The upper lights are located at coordinates 36.43573, 30.45285. But it's hard to climb there, even though it looks like it's very close by on the map. It's even harder to get down, and it's easy to lose the path, especially in the dark. It is highly advisable to have tracking sticks with you. Nevertheless, there may also be a lot of people on the upper lights - more persistent tourists.
