It was really hot the day we went to Olympos so we spent the after relaxing in the tree houses.

That evening after waiting for the Turks to sort out the transport, which took almost and hour when headed up to the Chimera. It took about 30 mins of hot sweaty walking before we reached the flames. They were natural spurts of flame from some gas burning underground that have supposedly been burning for thousands of years.  Well worth the wait and walk.

Hi, We travelled around on a truck with a tour group (Oasis Overland) so we didn't have to arrange any travel, it was great. I'm pretty sure there are buses from Istanbul to Olympos. The backpackers at Olympos runs a shuttle up to the Chimera at night. Hope that helps
