On the slopes of Mt Olympos, witness the eternal flame of the
Chimaera
: dozens of nat-
urally occurring flames, which are clearly visible from the sea at night. It's easy to see
why ancient peoples attributed these extraordinary flames to the breath of a monster. More
prosaically, nearby Çıralı is a beach haven for families and anyone who wants to relax,
while ancient
Olympos
was a major, fire-worshipping Lycian city.
