"Great Mountain"

The city is in the 80km south of Antalya and it is first in Antique Lycian Area.Giving onto the Mediterranean to the East,the ancient city Olympos is divited in two by the AKCAY Creek.In its character of a port city Olympos shows a different structure to other ancient cities surviving to date,it is thought that the word Olympos originates from Greek.
However,while the source and meaning of this name hasn't been conclusively explained it is likely that in the ancient Anatolian languages it carried the meaning of "High Mountain" or "Great Mountain".
