BURNING STONE

BURNING STONE

Yanar Taş is a natural formation located near Çıralı village in Kemer district of Antalya, which causes natural gas leaks to rise to the surface and burn continuously. This natural event is located within the borders of Olympos-Beydağları National Park and has been the subject of mythology since ancient times.

Yanar Taş consists of small fires that form as a result of methane gas coming out of the ground constantly igniting. These flames offer a very impressive view, especially at night. In ancient times, it was believed that the constantly burning flames of Yanar Taş were the fire-breathing monster of Chimera in Greek mythology.

The region is a popular destination for both those who want to go hiking and those interested in mythological stories. It is necessary to take a short but challenging walk to reach Yanar Taş; you can both enjoy nature and observe this interesting geological event closely along the path.

Yanar Taş, together with the natural beauties around it, offers an unforgettable experience especially for adventure and nature enthusiasts.
