Olympos Ancient City

On the southern coast of Antalya, the second important port city after Phaselis is Olympos. The city takes its name from Tahtalı Mountain, which is one of the western extensions of the Taurus Mountains, 16 kilometers to the north, with a height of 2,375 meters. It is within the borders of Beydağları-Olympos National Park. Although the exact date of its foundation is unknown, Olympos, which is mentioned in the Lycian Union coins minted in 167-168 BC, is one of the six cities in the Lycian Union with three voting rights.
