Kundu to Olympos & Chimaera Flames Transfer & Day Trip
95 km, about 1 hour 35 minutes each way, private car from €90 — the eternal flames of Yanartaş.
The Chimaera — Yanartaş, the 'burning stone' — is one of the strangest sights on the Turkish coast: a hillside above Olympos where flames have burned continuously from the bare rock for thousands of years, fed by natural gas seeping from the ground, the mythical breath of the fire-breathing Chimaera monster. Below lie the romantic, jungle-wrapped Lycian ruins of Olympos and a long pebble beach. It is about 95 kilometres southwest of the Kundu resort strip, roughly an hour and a half's drive. Our private transfer takes you there and back at a fixed price — a genuinely unusual half- or full-day escape.
What to expect
- A scenic 1h35 drive southwest from Kundu, past Antalya and along the coast toward Olympos.
- Door-to-door pickup from your Kundu hotel with an English-speaking driver.
- A comfortable air-conditioned Mercedes V-Class or Vito for up to 6 passengers.
- The driver waits while you climb to the flames and explore the Olympos ruins and beach.
- A fixed price agreed at booking — no meter, no surprises; best as a late-afternoon/evening trip for the flames.
