Additional Information

Embark on a jeep journey through Kuzdere, Camyuva, and Tekirova, culminating at the stunning Cirali beach. Indulge in a refreshing dip at this expansive 3-kilometer beach, renowned as one of the region’s most picturesque. A brief drive will lead you to the flame-spewing Yanartas mountain, situated above the village of Cirali near Olympos. This mountain is also referred to as Chimera, stemming from a legend involving a fire-breathing beast possessing a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail. It’s suggested to wear cozy footwear, as the trek involves a rocky trail.

Upon reaching Chimera, ample time is provided to thoroughly admire this intriguing natural spectacle. These perpetual flames are fueled by a natural underground gas source, ensuring they burn ceaselessly all year. A visit to these spectacular flames is particularly appealing after sunset.

Absolutely worth it! - We actually only wanted to see the fire at chimera and found the tour most appealing as we also visited the beach where the sea turtles lay their eggs. We were pleasantly surprised at how varied and beautiful the tour was. We would have liked to spend more time at the individual points. The ancient city is beautiful, the fires are definitely worth a visit even if you have to walk 1km up the hill, but you don't see that everywhere. Afterwards we went off-road through the forest in the dark to the restaurant which more than exceeded our expectations. Delicious food and a very special restaurant in a stream. Simply wow! The only drawback was that the tour said you had already paid the entrance fee for the ancient city and then you had to pay €7 in cash on site. 10€ for card payment. My tip: take a bottle of water with you and a jacket. As soon as it gets dark, it's cold while travelling on the LandRover. Nevertheless we totally recommend this tour if you are in Kemer and want to see some beautiful and historical places.

One of the highlights of our trip - We had so much fun on this tour! Definately go at night, the fires are amazing. Take comfortable shoes because the climb up is rocky and the climb down is in the dark.

Lovely mixed trip. - A lovely afternoon/evening on a jeep ride to Olimpus beach to swim in the clear warm water. Then to Chimaera mountain to treck up the top and see the fire that always burns from underground. Finished off at a mountain restaurant created by building platforms over a river. This is our 2nd trip booked through TripAdvisor and organised by Tourmania. The tour company will contact you through WhatsApp to make pick-up arrangements i can recommend 👌😁

Nice activity - It was a nice trip but in different order then showed on the website. They picked us up in time with a jeep. I would recommend this while being in Kemer.

Funny offroad trip - The start of the trip was a bit poor. Jeep was old, sitting Space limited And there was lack of english language of our driver. Anyway, jeep took us to very nice natural beach with some old structures around. Then we moved to the chimera flames. Really cool place. It was bit overloaded by people but still very nice. Then true fun starts...We drive offroad to beautiful local forest restaurant. It was really cool and funny due to our driver. Restaurant was also awesome. We get delicious fish food there. Really nice trip!

Great experience! - Very cool jeep ride :). Nice scenery throughout and a real fitness challenge on the way to Mount Chimera. The restaurant was in a beautiful spot in the woods and the food was delicious!

Didn’t meet my expectations but the food was delicious - Thank you for being flexible with the pick up point even though I was waiting for you at the wrong location. The food and restaurant was absolutely amazing I loved it However, there was NO tour guide in this tour. Apparently the driver who doesn’t speak English is supposed to also be the tour guide (even though this tour was advertised as a tour that’s offered in English). The driver gave instructions in German and Russian to the other tourists regarding our breaks and meeting points and I had to ask the other tourists to translate for me. I would highly recommend assigning an English speaker tour guide as promised in this tour. Also, the driver seemed uninterested at all about his job I would have loved to learn a lot about the places we visited. This is the first tour that didn’t provide a tour guide when the tour is advertised as a tour that’s offered in English by a tour guide. I’m giving 3 starts for the amazing food as well as the flexibility with the pick up point but the historical part of the tour itself has a lot of room for improvements

Not again..Too bad - It was a shame that the tour didn't go as advertised. We were picked up in a jeep and driven straight to Olympus Beach. There was no extra stop. Then we had an hour for Olympus (that was OK). However, we had to pay the tour guide another 5 euros per person. Then we went straight to the fires of the Chimera, where, contrary to the description, we only had 1 hour instead of 2. The time included the journey there and back. This is a bit demanding (quite uneven) and a real imposition in total darkness without light. The tour guide urged us to hurry because the meal was still on the agenda. That was fine and nothing to complain about. Our tour guide reacted quite angrily to our comment about the incorrectly stated timetable. He had been doing the tour like this for years. If only we had known that beforehand.....

Bad experience - We didn't recommand. The guide tour was made by Tourmania. The guide barely spoke to us, 4 sentences max from the whole evening, and drop off and time back. Four jeeps, more than 30 persons. Our driver was a good pilote but speake vers little english. Alone to go to Chimera without advise or explanation. It was by Day, not by night. Olympos is an extra (10 euros per person). The safari is to go into the forest with the jeep by night ... we didn't see anything! You should do it by your self 40 euros to rent a car for 24 hours and 45ł turcs to chimera! the feeling of being scammed and not be welcomed
