Antalya to Olympos

Overview

Rather than meeting at a terminal, this transfer begins right at your Antalya hotel door, with the driver calling the evening beforehand to lock in the pickup time for the descent to Olympos. The fare is fixed and put in writing once you book, so nothing needs settling with the driver on the day. Olympos sits in a wooded valley that opens onto the sea, its ancient ruins scattered under the trees and its accommodation built around laid-back camps rather than hotel blocks. It tends to suit travellers looking for a slower, simpler few days after busier stretches of the Antalya coast.

Highlights

• Around 85 km from your Antalya hotel, close to 1 hour 30 minutes
• Wooded valley opens straight onto the sea at Olympos beach
• Ancient ruins scatter under the trees rather than sitting in one open site
• Laid-back valley camps replace conventional hotel blocks here
• A calmer few days compared with busier parts of the Antalya coast
• Hotel pickup confirmed the evening before your journey begins
• Choose Sprinter for larger groups or V-Class for a smaller party
• Fixed fare written down as soon as you book the transfer

Route details

Good to know

• Download offline maps before leaving Antalya, since signal weakens once you reach the valley.
• Pack light, closed shoes for uneven ground around the ruins and camp paths.
• Confirm your exact camp name with the driver, since several sit along the same access road.
• Bring cash in small notes, as many valley camps and cafés prefer it over cards.
• Check with your driver about the road surface if travelling straight after heavy rain.
• Keep a torch handy for camps without strong lighting after dark.
