Olympos Ancient City

Olympos Ancient City is a historic ancient city site in southern Turkey, located near the village of Cılar within the Beyda Mountains National Park, approximately 87 kilometers from the center of Antalya. Olympos Ancient City's history dates back to the 2nd century BC, when it was a member of the Lycian League, holding a prominent position within the league with three votes. In the 1st century BC, the city was occupied by the Sercian pirate leader Zenikites, serving as a pirate base until it was conquered by the Roman general Publius Servilius Isauricus in 78 BC. Olympos subsequently became part of the Roman Empire and was visited by Emperor Hadrian around 130 AD, earning it the name "Hadrian's City." Today, the ruins of Olympos Ancient City include a Roman theater, baths, a temple gate, a bridge, and a recently excavated church mosaic floor. In addition, the natural gas flame (eternal flame) burning on the nearby Chikaltepe Mountain also attracts a large number of tourists.
