After lunch we have an optional hike up to eternal flames of Chimera. Having been in existence for 3 thousand years,its thought to be the first torch of Olympic games. Then we spend afternoon at Olympos.It was one of the six leading cities of Lycian League which is considered as the first democratic union. Owing to its location Olympos becomes a stronghold of pirates and is dismissed from the league.City is divided by Akçay river which was navigable for trade ships, remains are scattered both sides of the river.
