The Ancient City of Olympos

Nestled within the protected landscapes of Beydağları-Olympos National Park near Kumluca, Antalya, the Ancient City of Olympos is one of the most storied sites along the Lycian coast. Its ruins spread across both banks of a stream between the beaches of Çıralı and Olympos — where the mountains meet the sea in one of Türkiye's most dramatic natural settings.

Ranked as the second most significant port city of the region after Phaselis, Olympos is believed to have been founded during the Hellenistic period (3rd–2nd century BC). By 167–168 BC, it had already earned enough prestige to be named on Lycian League coins — one of only six cities granted three votes in the League, representing the eastern reach of Lycia.

The city's story is anything but quiet. In the 1st century BC, Olympos fell under the grip of the pirate lord Zeniketes, who turned it into a formidable stronghold and terrorized the Mediterranean. Roman commander Servilius Vatia (Isauricus) finally wrested the city back from pirate control in 78 BC — and with Roman rule came renaissance.

From 43 AD onward, Olympos entered its golden age under firm Roman sovereignty. Emperors including Hadrian walked its streets; theaters, bathhouses, and temples rose along its shores. In the early Christian era, the city grew into an episcopal center, associated with figures as significant as Saint Methodius.

The ruins visible today span Hellenistic and Roman layers — where every stone carries the weight of centuries.

Phaselis Ancient City:

Founded as a colony by the Rhodians, the city's geographical location indicates its importance as a port city. It has three harbors: one in the north of the peninsula, another in the northeast, and a third on the southwest coast. Its harbors, agoras, and ship depictions on its coins emphasize Phaselis's role as a commercial port. The ancient city of Phaselis is sometimes identified as a city of Lycia and sometimes of Pamphylia. In reality, it lies between the borders of both regions.
