After breakfast, you’ll drive to the ruins of Phaselis; the sea here is just as or even more impressive than the ancient ruins themselves, swimming is highly recommended! Then from the coast you’ll head straight up into the mountains, taking a cable car to the top of Mt. Tahtali (Mt. Olympos) which sits at over 2000m. Time permitting, hike from Ulupinar straight to your hotel in Cirali, seeing the legendary fires of Chimera on the way. 

Overnight in Maki Inn, Cirali.

Take a morning walk along the beach to visit the coastal ruins of Olimpos. Then head Myra and the Church of St. Nicolas on your way to Hoyran, a small settlement surrounded by ancient rock tombs. Away from the crowds, you’ll feel like the first people to discover these hidden ruins. This is also where you’ll be spending the night tonight.

The best way to visit these ruins is by boat, which is why we’ve arranged a boat tour for you today. After the boat trip, you’ll head to Kas, a lively seaside town.
