Natural gas rises from deep underground and seeps through fissures; when the gas meets air, these eternal flames appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar phenomena exist elsewhere in the world, yet Yanarta\u015f is one of the most spectacular. Historically the area was called Chimaera, a name linked to its mythic past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Is Yanarta\u015f?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/olimposlu.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cirali-Yanartas-NeredeNasil-GidilirGiris-Ucreti-2024-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olimposlu.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cirali-Yanartas-NeredeNasil-GidilirGiris-Ucreti-2024-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/olimposlu.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cirali-Yanartas-NeredeNasil-GidilirGiris-Ucreti-2024-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/olimposlu.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Cirali-Yanartas-NeredeNasil-GidilirGiris-Ucreti-2024-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yanarta\u015f is located in Antalya Province\u2019s Kemer district.

One legend, told here in a fresh way, gives the site deeper meaning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In ancient Ephyra, King Glaukos had a son named Hipponoes. During a hunt Hipponoes accidentally killed his brother Belleros. Branded \u201cBellerophontes\u201d (\u201cBelleros\u2011slayer\u201d), he was exiled and wandered to the palace of Argos. Keen to send him away, the Argos king dispatched him to the Lycian king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lycian king felt pity but devised a plan: he ordered the youth to fight the Chimera\u2014a fearsome beast on Mount Olympos with a lion\u2019s head, goat\u2019s body, serpent\u2019s tail, and flames blazing from its mouth. Bellerophontes had one ally: the winged horse\u202fPegasus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dodging each fiery attack, Pegasus soared high while Bellerophontes struck from below. Finally he plunged his spear into the Chimera, burying it deep beneath the earth. Yet the monster\u2019s rage was so fierce that flames still burst from the ground. Thus, as Homer relates, the unquenchable fires of Yanarta\u015f were born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1634530796330\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the legend of \u00c7\u0131ral\u0131 Yanarta\u015f?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There are several stories; the best\u2011known is the Chimera legend.
