Antalya Airport Olympos Transfer Service
Travel to an ancient city nestled in nature with a private transfer from Antalya Airport to Olympos. Home to important Lycian civilisation ruins, Olympos is 85 km from the airport, and Transferva delivers you to your treehouse or guesthouse in approximately 75 minutes. Enjoy a safe, comfortable door-to-door transfer to Olympos's pristine valley.
Olympos Transfer Route and Duration
The transfer from Antalya Airport to Olympos follows the Antalya-Kumluca highway southwest through Kemer and Tekirova, then turns onto the mountain road at the Olympos junction and descends into the valley. The total distance is 85 km, and under normal conditions the journey takes between 70 and 80 minutes. The final 11 km consists of a narrow, winding forest road through the mountains. During summer, the trip may extend to 85 minutes. Night transfers can be completed in around 65 minutes. Olympos is 8 km from Çıralı and within trekking distance (3 km) of Yanartaş. The Tahtalı Mountain cable car station is 15 km away.
About Olympos
Olympos is an ancient Lycian city dating back to the 2nd century BC, located in the Kumluca district of Antalya. The ruins include temples, bathhouses, a theatre, and necropolis areas. Olympos Beach is one of Turkey's most beautiful shores, completely natural and unspoiled, with ancient ruins extending right down to the sand. The area is world-famous for its treehouse accommodation concept — dozens of guesthouses offer wooden treehouses perched among pine trees. It is enormously popular with young travellers and backpackers. Yanartaş (Chimera), where eternal natural gas flames emerge from the rock, is reachable via a 3 km trekking path. The Olympos Cable Car (Tahtalı Mountain) ascends to a 2,365-metre summit with panoramic Mediterranean views. As a key stop on the Lycian Way long-distance trail, Olympos is a unique destination for those seeking history, nature, and adventure in equal measure.
Why Choose Transferva for Olympos Transfer?
Public transport to Olympos is extremely limited, and the final 11 km narrow mountain road is a route most standard taxis avoid. Our drivers descend into this valley every day and know the location of each treehouse guesthouse by name. We allocate enough boot space for backpacks, trekking poles, and camping gear. If you are unsure whether you need Çıralı or Olympos, just share your accommodation address and we will take you to the right drop-off. For an early-morning cable car ride up Tahtalı Mountain, we can arrange a transfer to the station. During festival periods, when valley traffic increases, we draw on our experience to suggest departure times that keep waiting to a minimum.
