Where Should I go: Turin (Torino) or Olympos?
Turin (Torino)
The first capital of modern Italy, Turin now serves as the capital of Italy's Piedmont region, making up the northwestern part of the country. Famous for hosting the 2006 Winter Olympics and today known as the World Book Capital, the city is also characterized by grand baroque architecture, palaces, churches, museums, and art galleries.
Olympos
Olympos was an ancient city in Lycia, situated in a river valley near the coast. Its ruins are located south of the modern town Cirali in the Kumluca district of Antalya Province, Turkey. An important Lycian city in the 2nd century BC, Olympos is more famous these days for being the beach resort of choice for backpackers. Staying in an Olympos 'tree house' at one of the dozen-or-so camps that line the path to the ruins and beach has long been the stuff of travel legend. The former hippy-trail hot-spot has been considerably renovated in past years and during summer can be pretty overcrowded. Olympos offers good value and an up-for-it party atmosphere in a lovely setting.
