Its story
Yanartaş is at the southern tip of Kemer district, about 3 km west of Çıralı beach, 180 m above the sea. Natural gas seeping between the rocks burns continuously, forming small clusters of flames. In antiquity it was associated with the legend of the Chimaera, and just below are the remains of a temple dedicated to Hephaistos. The flames are especially impressive after dark.
