  • Bounce along rugged mountain tracks in an open 4x4 through pine-scented forest

Full description
  • Your day begins with a friendly morning pickup from your hotel in the Antalya, Kemer or Belek area, where your open 4x4 jeep is waiting to whisk you away from the resort strip. As the coast falls behind, the road climbs into the wild green flanks of Mount Olympos, winding past citrus groves and shady pine forest. The salty Mediterranee breeze gives way to the cool, resin-scented air of the Taurus foothills, and the anticipation builds with every bumpy bend.

    The heart of the safari is the climb to Yanartas, the famous eternal flames that have flickered from the bare mountainside for thousands of years, fuelled by natural gas seeping through the rock. Along the way your convoy tackles dusty forest tracks, rocky inclines and refreshing stream crossings that send up sheets of cool spray, with plenty of laughter and photo stops at viewpoints that open onto the glittering Olympos coastline. Standing beside the dancing flames, your guide shares the ancient legend of the fire-breathing Chimaera that gave this magical place its name.

    After the adventure, you pull in for a hearty lunch at a riverside village restaurant, where the shade of plane trees and the murmur of running water make the perfect spot to relax and swap stories with fellow travellers. There is free time to cool off, sip Turkish tea and stretch your legs before the jeep rolls back down the mountain toward the coast. By the time you are dropped off at your hotel, dusty, smiling and full of unforgettable memories, you will already be planning your next Antalya adventure.
