Start with pickup from all hotels in the Kemer resort. Drive to the tour start point and meet your guide for the evening. Receive a full briefing about the tour program and at 5:30 PM your safari tour will start.

Travel by jeep through Kuzdere, Camyuva, and Tekirova until you arrive at Cirali beach. Enjoy a swimming stop here along a 3 kilometer long beach, one of the most beautiful in the region. A short drive from there will take you to the fire mountain Yanartas, located above the Cirali village near Olympos. This hill is also known as Chimera due to the myth about a fire-spewing monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake. You are recommended to wear comfortable shoes as you will walk up a stony path.

Upon reaching Chimera you will have enough time to enjoy this fascinating natural phenomenon. The reason for these flames is a natural underground gas source, leading to an everlasting flame. The flames burn all year round and are especially attractive to visit in the dark.

After some time at Chimera hill make your way to the Ulupinar Waterfall Restaurant for a dinner (fish or chicken, starter plate, salad and seasonal fruits). At 10:00 PM, start your journey back to Kemer. Approximate arrival time is 11:00 - 11:30 PM.
