After this terrrrible incident we had in Antalya we hitch-hiked a little bit to the west to a village called Olympos, where the main funky thing is to live in these cool treetop houses. Well, these "treetop" houses turned out not to be that "treetop" as I imagined but it was really cool to stay in one :) We told the local guys we were on a tight budget and cannot afford a treehouse, so in the end we got a discounted price for house No. 111:
We put our stuff inside real quick then we took the 10 minutes walk to the beach. Now the unbelievable thing that happened was that on the path to the beach the were collecting an entrance fee! Not much, but like one Euro per person. We told them for sure we're not paying for a f*****g beach, the sea is for everyone etc. They wouldn't have let as through anyway, they said there were some ancient ruins and stuff, they're collecting the fee for that, the sea just happens to be that way too. So we took another way 50 meters away from there in a riverbed mostly dried out:
At the coast there was coolness, nice beach, nice water, nice people. Some of them making silly hats in their free time:
Some swimming in the sea, then some food (we got unlimited dinner for the treehouse, yess :), then at dusk we left to see the seemingly most interesting place in the area: the Chimeras, which are fires coming from underneath some stones. We walked for like 2 hours by the sea, then up to a mountain (where they collect an entrance fee for these stupid fires, and we couldn't ever avoid all the guys and dogs working there) and after a 20-minute climb we glanced the Thing. I'm gonna try to cut a video of it but for now, here is a pic with Judit:
The fires really do come from under some rocks, having a cool sweet smell (no shit, they really had a smell like some candy :) I really recommend for everyone to see these things as the sight and atmosphere mixing with the smell is not possible to show on videos.
The thing making the fires is some gas which in theory immediately buns when contacting with air, so it's not possible to blow it away. Well, we tested, it is possible. So we needed to light one up again with a lighter. Honestly, we got really scared for a moment that we ruined one of the fires. :)
And finally, a broccoli as a present for our friend Jimmi:
