OLYMPOS

We slept in a tree house.
We swam in the Mediterranean.
We climbed through a forest of Roman ruins.
We sang Turkish songs next to the raging camp fire.
We hiked to the mystical Eternal Flames atop Chimera mountain.
We met awesome friends and made amazing memories.
I love the southern coast of Turkey.

OUR TREEHOUSE HOSTEL:



THE MEDITERRANEAN:




THE ROMAN RUINS:




THE EPIC SCENERY:



THE ETERNAL FLAMES:
(NIGHT)


THE ETERNAL FLAMES:
(DAY)
Hiking up the Chimera Mountain
Cluster of flame niches
They have been burning for thousands of years. 
Flame niche puddled with water from rain the days before, Natural Gas was bubbling up from the rock through the water. 
THE WILDLIFE:

Roosters crowed every day at sunrise and sunset.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
TURKEY in Turkey
Wildflowers everywhere you look.
Biggest Dandelion in the world.
There was such a strange mixture of plant life ranging from cactus to palm trees to waxy flowers attributed to climates like Hawaii. 
Wild lambs ear? Or some kind of plant in that family. Bushes of this stuff were everywhere on the rock faced mountain.
A beetle made his home within this wild poppy. Wild poppies also were everywhere.
