Hiking

In Cirali the Chimaere must be visited. She is still spitting underground fire after she had rammed Bellerophantes on Pegasus with his lance into the underworld.

Hiking

There is an entrance fee. The Müze card cannot be used here. The climb is approximately 200 meters high, but you will be rewarded with a view of the flames.
