An atmospheric place to take a walk, gain impressions, you can watch the work of archaeologists. Probably, when there are a lot of people there, it's not very cozy, we were in October right at dawn at 7 a.m., even the ticket offices were closed, so we only found out after the fact that the entrance was paid. But there were few people, everyone greeted each other warmly.
It's beautiful, but very expensive. If you don't want to pay, but want to look at the antiquities and go to the beach, then you can cross the river before reaching the entrance and walk on the right along the part that has not yet been cleared. There are very large and interesting buildings there. Including the largest hammam, next to which there is a large spring. There is also a path that leads to a very beautiful beach. Or go up the mountain and walk through the remains of the castle. Or walk to the rocks. All the main paths are very accurately indicated on the maps.
An interesting location. The scales are impressive. Entrance is paid, you can climb from the beach side closer to the rocks (there is a hole in the fence). Excavation work is still underway and the final size of the buildings of this city is still in the front.
If you happen to be nearby, you can take a look. The bottom line: a large complex of ancient ruins: temples, houses, tombs, burials. The city itself is ancient but rebuilt in places. Entrance is paid - ~ $30. Cafes, restaurants, and hotels are on the way to the ticket offices. The city is located on the beach, so you can swim.
If you are on vacation in Turkey near the village of Cirali, then you need to visit the ruins of the ancient city of Olympus.
Entrance to the territory is paid, you must have water, a swimsuit (if you want to swim) and comfortable shoes.
It is better to plan the route in advance or find out how to get there. Our group split into pairs and we didn't see any of what our colleagues found.
Nature is fascinating, very beautiful.
Come early, while the sun is not so bright.
A place with an incredible atmosphere. Keep in mind that you can't touch anything or take away the stones. Take water and sun protection with you. There is nowhere to hide and relax on the territory.
