Antalya was quite an uncomfortable city with an extremely ugly beach and full of buildings. The cost of everything was easily three times what we had before. However, the accommodation was again extremely cheap with maybe around 30€ for an apartment with two rooms. This again saves a lot and was ultimately the reason to stop there. The next day we continued towards Demre. We wanted to see the flames at Mount Chimaera, but some highwaymen wanted money, so we didn’t go. In the end, we could have gone there from another direction. Overall, everything near Antalya and Olympos was extremely touristy and expensive. Later we drove then at Demre still something inland, because there again a famous old city was the free and ultimately only visited by us.
