This family's experience:

Activities: We walked from the center to Olympus Beach and explored the ancient city of Olympus. The entrance to the city is 70TL, admission is free for children

Highlights: The city with its ruins is really worth seeing. We recommend wearing sturdy shoes if you plan to hike up the hill to enjoy the beautiful view. Very worth seeing for a Turkey road trip with children! ✨
