Continuing on the mountain coastline to Phaselis, an ancient city situated on a peninsula surrounded by three small, perfect bays within the beautiful Olympos Beydaglari national park. In Roman times this was an important port town and here we will spend some time  walking  along the Harbour Way passing by the sites of  the Roman baths, the Agora and a small Roman theatre. If you want to take a swim here there is time for a small bath in one of the beautiful bays.

From Phaselis we continue to Ulupinar where  we stop for a lunch in peaceful surroundings next to a small river in the pine forest Back on the road we wind down through the forest road to the river valley of Olympos, which is especially popular for students and backpackers.  Back in the day this was a very trendy ‘hippie hang out’ and today is well known for camps, tree houses and bungalows.  The main attraction is the ancient Lycian-Roman city of Olympos .

We continue on from here to the Adrasan Bay for our overnight stay in a boutique riverside hotel very close to the beautiful Adrasan beach.  Dinner is served under the stars by the river in our hotel.

DAY 5

After breakfast we drive to Kayaköy - the ghost town. This used to be a lively village with both Greek and Turks living together in harmony. After the first world war Greeks were deported from Turkey and Turks were deported from Greece and the population in this village was drastically reduced. Then an earthquake ruined the village in the fifties and after this it has been left as a ghost town. The village still has an aura and you can feel the way it must have been in the past. After this visit we continue to Ölü Deniz, the most beautiful looking beach in all of Turkey. If you want you can just enjoy a quiet day on the beach. If you are more adventurous this is considered one of the best places in the world for paragliding. You start from an amazing 1960 metres high on the Babadag mountain. Breathtaking panorama and stable weather conditions has made this place extremely popular. In the afternoon we will return to our hotel. Free time in the evening.
