* What is so interesting about the Lycian Trail?

Most of the trail is located in national parks, which preserve their pristine beauty and flavor. Secondly, it is a unique opportunity to touch the ancient history of the Lycian civilization, which was distinguished by its distinctive culture, language, architecture, writing and maintained its autonomy for a long time. Some sections of the trail run along the ancient paths and roads that Alexander the Great and his army used thousands of years ago.
Chimera — We will climb the famous Chimera Mountain (Yanartash), on top of which "eternal lights" are burning directly from the ground. According to legend, the terrible monster, the Chimera, was defeated by the ancient Greek hero Bellerophon, and the winged horse Pegasus trampled it into the ground. Since then, the Chimera has been there, spewing flames. In fact, natural gas is constantly burning at the top of the mountain. The sight of flames coming straight out of the rock is certainly fascinating. Bonus: you can roast sausages or Marshmallows on the chimera fires.
