ETERNAL FLAMES

Tour code: TAT 53

          

One of the highlights of a visit is Chimaera,near the ancient city of Olympos.The chimaera,or mythical fire-breathing monster with the head of a lion,the torso of a goat,and the rear of a snake that allegedly roams the hills are actually a series of eternal flames flickering along the rocky slopes above the ancient city of Olympos,which would account for theLycians worship of the fire god Hephaestos
(Vulcan). But never fear:According to legend,the Chimaera was slain by Bellerophon on his winged horse Pegasus.The fires are caused by the combustion of a predominantly methane gas mixture seeping out of the earth.
