The temple gate in ruined Olympos - Olympos

Olympos is a beautiful place, and I didn't spend nearly enough time there. I wish I could have stayed the night in one of the treehouse hostels they have there. That's so much more my style than the resort package that we bought into. The landscape is beautiful, and there are plenty of ruins to explore and even one miracle of nature to witness.

The Mediterranean Sea, seen from the hill

Beautiful sights are everywhere in Olympos. It's got a really relaxed and friendly air to it.
Olympos is on the coast of the Mediterranead Sea, and while there are many chintzy resorts peppering much of the beach in Turkey, there are none to be seen here. It retains its timeless, natural feeling. Get it while it's hot!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful place, friendly atmosphere. Inexpensive, too!
Cons:I cannot think of a single one.
