About this activity
Leave the resort routine behind and see a more dramatic side of Kemer on the Olympos and Chimera Tour from Kemer. Maxtoria combines coastline, ancient heritage and one of the region’s most unusual natural phenomena in a single guided day. After hotel pickup, the route heads toward Çıralı, where mountain scenery meets the Mediterranean and the atmosphere quickly feels far removed from the busy holiday centre.
Olympos, beach time and ancient history
After a photo stop in Çıralı, enjoy free time around Olympos Beach for swimming and relaxation. Guests who want more history can optionally enter Olympos Ancient City, where ruins sit among forest and river scenery; the entrance fee is not included. If you want more background before travelling, Maxtoria’s guide to places to visit in Kemer explains the story of Olympos, Çıralı and Yanartaş in more detail.
Walk to the eternal flames of Chimera
The route continues to Yanartaş, where an uphill forest trail of about 800 metres leads to the natural flames emerging between the rocks. Comfortable walking shoes are important here. Afterwards, the day finishes with a meal in the green riverside setting of Ulupinar before the return transfer to Kemer. Hotel transfer, professional guiding, the meal and insurance are included; drinks, Olympos Ancient City admission and personal expenses are not. With Maxtoria handling the route, the Olympos and Chimera Tour from Kemer brings beach, mythology, archaeology and nature together without making the day feel complicated.

the beach stop at Olympos is too short, we barely got in the water before we had to head back. the Chimera walk is steep. ticket to the ancient city is not included so most people skipped it. nice but rushed
- Dan M.
good day overall. the flames are impressive but the uphill walk is steep and exhausting in the heat. Olympos ruins cost extra and we skipped them, wish there was more time at the beach. lunch fine, drinks not included
- Oliver T.
great mix of beach and history. the swim at Olympos was nice, and the flames at Chimera are a cool sight after the walk up. guide explained the myth of the Chimera well. lunch at Ulupınar by the river was lovely. bring water shoes
