The Ancient City of Olympos

Exploring the Ancient City of Olympos 🧡💛💙 Olympos was originally a very important Lycian city in the Hellenistic period(4th century BCE). Later ruled by the Roman empire, and was even once a pirate cove. We climbed a mountain to explore the ruins at the top and came across a stunning view of Olympos beach. Living out our real-life assassin's creed fantasies 🎮 Turkey is another type of beautiful 😍 🇹🇷 ❤️👌🏻🐚🌊 🌞 🪬 🗺 Getting There - 1.
