Yanartaş Eternal Flame Tour

Yanarta? Eternal Flame Tour

At 4.30 pm, we will pick you up from your hotel in Kemer and head towards the town of Cirali, passing through villages such as Kuzdere, Camyuva, and Tekirova.

In Cirali, we will stop at its 3-kilometer (1.8 mile) beach for swimming and a stroll along the shore.

As the sun sets, we will ascend Mount Chimera, or the Mount of the Eternal Fire, via a stone path. At the summit, you will witness the continuous Yanarta? fires.

The legend involves Lycian king Iobates seeking Bellerophon’s help to defeat Chimera, a fire-breathing monster. With aid from Athena and Pegasus, Bellerophon imprisoned Chimera in the mountain, resulting in the eternal flames.

The flames are caused by methane accumulating in the mountain, escaping through fissures. Historically, these fires served as a lighthouse for sailors.

After this experience, we will go to Ulupinar for dinner set among trees and springs, featuring a main course, salad, and seasonal fruit for dessert.

Finally, we will return to Kemer, dropping you off at your hotel around 11.30 pm, concluding the tour.
