Olympos Cable Car from Kemer to Mount Tahtali Summit

Olympos Cable Car from Kemer to Mount Tahtali

From Kemer’s coast to the Tahtali summit above the clouds.

Few excursions around Kemer take you from pine-covered slopes to a spectacular mountain summit so quickly. The Olympos Cable Car climbs to the top of Mount Tahtali, 2,365 metres above sea level, where the Mediterranean coastline meets the Taurus Mountains. This organised tour combines the cable car experience with return transportation from hotels in the Kemer region, making it easy to enjoy the views without arranging a car or tackling a mountain hike.

Hotel transfers across the Kemer region

Pickup is available from hotels in Beldibi, Goynuk, central Kemer, Kiris, Camyuva and Tekirova. Your transfer takes you into the mountain landscape near the Olympos Cable Car lower station. Unlike longer departures from Antalya or Belek, this Kemer excursion is planned as an approximately four-hour outing. Guests normally meet the transfer at the designated location by the hotel's main entrance, on the roadside where the vehicle can stop safely.

The cable car ride: mountains above the Mediterranean

From the lower station, a spacious panoramic cabin ascends towards Mount Tahtali in approximately 10 minutes. Watch the forested ridges, rocky slopes and turquoise coastline shift beneath you as the cabin gains altitude. The journey is part of the attraction, with dramatic views well before you reach the summit. Your ticket covers both the ascent and the return descent.

Discover the summit at 2,365 metres

Once at the top, you have approximately 90 minutes to explore the viewing terraces, take photographs and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. On clear days, the outlook extends across the Kemer coastline and the surrounding peaks. A cafe is available for an optional break, with food and drinks purchased separately. Visibility and access to outdoor viewpoints depend on the weather, so panoramic views cannot be guaranteed on cloudy or misty days.

Morning and afternoon departure options

The established Kemer programme includes approximate hotel pickup options around 09:30 and 13:30 during the main season. From 1 November to 31 March, only the morning tour operates; no afternoon departure is offered. Actual availability, pickup times and the order of stops depend on the date, hotel location and operating conditions. The tour lasts around four hours overall, with approximately 1.5 hours allocated to the summit, subject to the daily schedule.

Even when the beach feels warm, the summit can be cold and windy. Bring a jacket and comfortable shoes. Cable car services may be delayed or suspended in strong winds or unsafe conditions. Please follow the pickup instructions and any operational updates provided with your reservation.
