How does the Mount Tahtali tour from Belek work?
Morning hotel pickup, exact time on your e-ticket
We pick up guests at the hotel gate, by the security post, just past the barrier, between about 08:00 and 09:00. We’ll put the exact pickup time for your hotel on your e-ticket once your booking is confirmed.
On the road towards Kemer, with Tahtali in view
From Belek the bus heads towards Kemer and the cable car base station. Along the way you can already see the mountain slopes, the coast and the outline of Tahtali, which stands out clearly above the resorts.
Up in a panoramic cabin
At the base station you collect your tickets and head to the cable car. Each panoramic cabin holds 80 people, and its windows give views in every direction on the way up.
The ride up takes about 10 minutes. As you climb, the sea drops away below, the mountains come closer and the wide panorama of the Antalya coast opens up in front of you.
The panorama from the viewing platform
The upper station stands 2,365 metres above sea level. You have about 1.5 hours of free time here.
Walk out onto the viewing platform, breathe in the fresh mountain air and look down on the sea, forests, mountains and resorts far below. It’s a good spot for photos, especially on a clear day.
There’s a café at the summit where you can buy a drink or a light snack at extra cost, if you like.
Cooler at the top, so dress for the season
At the summit it’s usually 10–12 degrees cooler than by the sea.
So bring a light jumper in summer and a warm jacket in winter. That way you can take your time on the viewing platform instead of hurrying back inside because of the cool wind.
Down by cable car and back to your hotel
After the free time the group rides the cable car back down to the base station and boards the bus. You’ll be back at your hotel between about 14:30 and 15:00. The exact time depends on where your hotel is, traffic, the weather, how the cable car is running and the pace of the group.
The tour starts in the morning, so you still have time for other plans once you’re back.
In a few hours you ride up Tahtali, look out over the Mediterranean from 2,365 metres and see the Antalya coast from a new angle.
Book your seat online with no prepayment. You pay for the tour on the bus on the day.

What is Mount Tahtali?
Tahtali is a 2,365-metre mountain and a well-known landmark on the Antalya coast: you can see it from Kemer and from many points along the shore. It belongs to the Western Taurus range and lies within Beydağları (Olympos) National Park.
What is the Olympos Teleferik cable car?
Olympos Teleferik carries visitors to the summit of Tahtali, 2,365 metres up. The line is 4,350 metres long, and the ride up takes about 10 minutes. You travel in a panoramic cabin, with the sea, mountains, forests and the Antalya coast in view all the way up.
What time does the tour start?
We pick up guests at the hotel gate, by the security post, just past the barrier, between about 08:00 and 09:00. We’ll put the exact pickup time for your hotel on your e-ticket once your booking is confirmed.
What time will we be back at the hotel?
Guests are usually back at their hotels between 14:30 and 15:00. The time depends on where your hotel is, traffic, the weather, how the cable car is running and the pace of the group.
How long is the cable car ride up?
About 10 minutes. The cabin moves smoothly and climbs quickly to the upper station.
How much time do we get at the summit?
You have about 1.5 hours of free time at the summit. That’s enough to walk out onto the viewing platform without rushing, take photos, enjoy the mountain air and stop at the café if you like.
What is the weather like at the summit of Tahtali?
At 2,365 metres it’s usually 10–12 degrees cooler than by the sea in Belek. It’s often windy at the top, so bring a light jumper or windbreaker in summer and a warm jacket in winter.
Is the view from the summit always good?
On a clear day you can see the sea, mountains, forests and the resorts along the coast from Tahtali. But mountain weather changes quickly. Fog or cloud can partly block the view, and it can get very windy at the top.
Can we eat at the summit?
Yes, there’s a café at the upper station where you can buy drinks or a light snack. All of this is paid for separately.
Will my child have their own seat on the bus?
Children from 0 to 2 travel free and sit on an adult’s lap, so they don’t get their own seat on the bus. If you want your little one to have their own seat, book them at the child rate.
Is the tour suitable for older people or guests with heart conditions?
The ride up is gentle: the cabin is enclosed, the trip takes only about 10 minutes and there’s no strenuous physical effort. But at 2,365 metres the air is thinner, and people with heart, circulation or lung conditions may notice it. If this applies to you, we recommend checking with your doctor beforehand and bringing any medication you need.
Can I get motion sickness in the cable car?
The Olympos Teleferik cabins are large, have panoramic windows and hold 80 people. The ride is smooth, with no sudden jolts, so most guests feel comfortable. If you’re prone to motion sickness or feel uneasy in enclosed spaces, try to stand near a window and look at the horizon.
