Mount Tahtali (Olympos) Tour from Belek

Mount Tahtali is considered the highest point in the vicinity of Kemer, offering stunning views of local natural attractions, including the sea. In particular, the snow peak can be seen from Belek. Mount Olympos (the second name) is located at an altitude of more than 2.3 kilometers above sea level. Such name is not chosen by chance as in translation from the Turkish «taht» means the throne. Therefore, the top of the mountain is a place of gods. It is no wonder that Olympus is becoming a pilgrimage site for hundreds of thousands of tourists who aspire to visit this mountain throne.

Tour plan

First the bus collects guests from hotels, including Belek. Then you have an hour and a half trip to Kemer under the watchful eye of a professional guide. On the way you will not be bored, as the guide will tell you many interesting facts about sights of cities in Turkey.

You will be taken to Mount Tahtali, where the lift works. Even here you can admire the beauty of the local nature and see the coastal line, which is quite nearby. The cable car trip takes only 12 minutes. During this time you will be able to discover all the new picturesque landscapes that amaze you. Make sure you record the natural beauty on your camera.

By the way, the length of the cable car is more than 4 km, which makes it a special attraction of the region. Along the way, the guide will tell you the legends that the locals know and preserve as their heritage. You will see with your own eyes the magnificent Turkish Riviera, as well as learn a lot of interesting facts about Mount Tahtali.

The cable car will take you to the observation deck. Even when the sky is clear, it is cool on the top. Therefore, we recommend taking warm clothes with you. The temperature does not often exceed 11-13 degrees. At the top within an hour you can enjoy the beauty of Taurus. Photographers offer their services here for extra cost. You can also visit a local restaurant. But the prices are very high. If you want to save on food and water, take them with you.

Five tourist tips

• Remember the temperature variations and take your warm clothes with you. Kemer Resort can have a temperature of 37 degrees and the mountain can have a temperature of 13 degrees.
• Check the working hours of the cable car in advance. It is open every day. However, it works at certain hours depending on the season.
• Take a backpack with food, a camera, a charger and water. You’ll save a lot of money.
• Remember the restrictions of the booth on the number of people – they are constructed for 80 tourists. If you want to get to the top with your family comfortably, perhaps you should skip one lift.
• Do not use the services of photographers who go with you on a cable car.  Their work is considered extremely expensive. For a couple of photos you might pay 100-150 euro on the spot.
