Chimaera

There are many interesting attractions in the Olympos area; one of the more interesting has to be Chimaera. After a relaxing rest day we decided to hike the 5 km from Cirali up to the Chimaera. The Chimaera is a magical place where dozens of flames come up from the rocks lighting up the hill side, as we neared the area it looked as though the mountain was on fire. The flames are caused by methane gas escaping from the ground and are perfect for cooking your dinner on!
