About This Tour

Olympos cable car Tahtali Mountain tour from Antalya takes you from sea level to the 2,365-metre summit of Tahtali Mountain in an 11-minute ride — €59 per person, with hotel pickup included from Antalya, Belek, Side, Kemer, and Alanya. Board one of the world’s longest cable cars at the Olympos station, rise through pine-forested ridges and open sky, and step out onto a summit with 360-degree views across the Mediterranean coastline, the Taurus mountain range, and the ancient ruins of Phaselis far below. Your TURSAB-licensed guide accompanies the group throughout, round-trip cable car tickets are included, and no deposit is required to book.

If you want to explore the wider Olympos area, our Olympos travel guide covers the ancient ruins, Chimaera flames, and the best time to visit.

Itinerary

08:00–09:00 — Hotel Pickup
Your driver collects you from your hotel in Antalya, Belek, Side, or Alanya. Kemer guests are collected closer to the cable car station. Exact pickup time varies by hotel location and will be confirmed with your booking.

09:00–09:30 — Drive Through Beydağları National Park
The route to the Olympos cable car station passes through Beydağları Coastal National Park — pine and cedar forest, glimpses of the Mediterranean through the trees, and the first views of Tahtali rising above the ridgeline. Your guide covers the mountain's history and what to expect at the summit.

09:30–09:45 — Board the Cable Car (726m Station)
The lower station sits at 726 metres. Cabins hold up to 80 passengers and the 4.3-kilometre ride to the summit takes approximately 11 minutes. The ascent is smooth — watch the coastline open up behind you as the forest drops away below.

09:45–11:15 — Tahtali Summit (2,365m) — Free Time
At the summit you have approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes of free time. Walk the observation platforms, photograph the panoramic Mediterranean views, and on clear days see the ancient harbour of Phaselis and the Taurus range stretching east toward Antalya. The summit restaurant and cafeteria are available at your own cost. In winter months the summit is typically snow-covered — bring a warm layer.

11:15–11:30 — Descent by Cable Car
Return ride down to the lower station. The views on the descent face toward the sea — a different perspective from the ascent.

11:30–13:30 — Return to Antalya
Comfortable return drive in the air-conditioned minibus through the national park. ~

13:30 — Hotel Drop-off
Back at your hotel before early afternoon — time for lunch and an afternoon at the beach or pool.

Frequently asked questions

The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, a round-trip Olympos cable car ticket, a TURSAB-licensed local guide, and air-conditioned minibus transport through Beydağları National Park. Food and drinks at the summit are not included and are available at the summit restaurant or cafeteria at your own cost.

Yes. The round-trip Olympos cable car ticket is included in the tour price — you do not pay separately at the station.

The cable car ride from the lower station (726m) to the Tahtali summit (2,365m) takes approximately 11 minutes one way. The total ascent covers 4.3 kilometres, making it one of the longest cable car rides in the world. You spend around 1 hour and 15 minutes at the summit before the return descent.

At 2,365 metres you'll find panoramic observation platforms with 360-degree views across the Mediterranean, the Taurus Mountains, and the ancient ruins of Phaselis below. There is a summit restaurant and cafeteria, souvenir shops, and — for those who want more — optional paragliding and bungee catapult experiences available locally at the top.

Yes — the Olympos cable car operates year-round. In winter months (roughly November through March) the Tahtali summit is typically snow-covered while the coast below stays mild. This makes the winter tour especially dramatic — Mediterranean blue below, snow and silence above. Dress warmly for the summit regardless of season: temperatures at 2,365m are significantly colder than at sea level.

We collect guests from hotels in Antalya (including Lara, Kundu, and Konyaaltı), Belek, Side, Alanya, and Kemer. Kemer guests are collected closer to the cable car station with a later pickup time. Your exact pickup time is confirmed with your booking.

Yes. The cable car ride is smooth and accessible for all ages — no hiking or physical effort required. The summit platforms are walkable. Children under 6 ride the cable car free of charge (ticket included in the tour). Guests with mobility limitations should note the summit terrain is uneven in places; the main viewing platforms are accessible.
