Where Should I go: Trento or Olympos?
Trento
Amid stone castles of centuries past and Renaissance fountains, the ancient and modern world glide seamlessly together to create a quaint, elegant town. Trento is the capital of Trentino and is located on the Adige River valley. A most prominent city during the sixteenth century, Trento was once the location of the Council of Trent, wielding insurmountable power throughout the region. Though formerly part of Austria and Hungary-Austria, Trento finally was annexed by Italy in 1919. Because of its rich history, a great deal of breathtaking architecture can be found throughout the city, such as the Trento Cathedral and the Castello del Buonconsiglio. Despite its cultural and historic significance, however, Trento is also the capital of Italy's education, politics, and economy. From the top 30 universities in Italy, University of Trento ranks highly among them and has gained worldwide prestige. Compared to many other Italian metropolises, Trento is ranked highly for its quality of life, standard of living, and business and job opportunities for the population. In 2004, Trento was named the Alpine Town of the Year as well.
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.
