Olympos

This backpacker destination offers a lot of fun, the hostel lifestyle in a treehouse environment (that's right  - the area has a number of Pansyons that have built treehouses to court the backpacking traveller), and magnificently accessable ruins from ancient Olympos.  The beach is long curve which ends at a castle ruins which you can explore - beyond it are a few hillside trails that allow for even more exploring.

There are organised trips to see the ancient "Chimera" or perpetual flame on the side of the hills at night, and it is sometimes done in a tractor towed trailer!   Olympos is a great place to relax or to party depending on the pansyon you decide to stay at - and two meals are usually included in the accomodation price (which is done per person) so the cost is really quite minimal - unless you drink all your money away (which is not entirely unlikely in many cases!)
