The Basics

The cable car is located in the Beydağları Coastal National Park, about an hour’s drive from Antalya. It operates year-round, offering a unique perspective in every season—green landscapes in spring, sunlit vistas in summer, and snow-covered peaks in winter. The ride takes about 10 minutes each way and is suitable for all ages. At the summit, visitors can enjoy refreshments, take photos, and explore short walking paths.

Things to Know Before You Go

Dress in layers, as temperatures at the summit are significantly cooler than in Antalya. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, especially if you plan to explore the viewing platforms. Tickets can be purchased online or on-site, but booking in advance during peak season ensures a hassle-free visit. Don’t forget your camera for the spectacular views.

How to Get There

From Antalya, you can drive or take a taxi to the base station, which is approximately 50 kilometers away. Public buses don’t serve the area, but many tour operators offer round-trip packages, including transfers from your hotel. Renting a car is another convenient option for exploring at your own pace.

When to Get There

The cable car operates throughout the day, but early morning or late afternoon visits are recommended for cooler temperatures and magical lighting. Sunset rides are particularly popular, offering a golden glow over the mountains and sea. Check the official website for seasonal operating hours and weather updates.

Day Trips from Antalya

A visit to the Tahtalı Olympos Cable Car is an excellent day trip from Antalya. Combine your ride with stops at nearby attractions like Phaselis, an ancient city with stunning beaches, or Çıralı, famous for its natural flames known as the Chimaera. Many tour operators offer packages that include these highlights, creating a full day of exploration and adventure.
