Where Should I go: Madhya Pradesh or Olympos?
Madhya Pradesh
Translating to "central region," Madhya Pradesh is a state centrally located within the plains of India. While it is not a major tourist hub, the region has plenty to showcase in regards to the history, art, religion, and culture of central India.
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.
