How does the Tahtali cable car afternoon trip from Kemer work?
Afternoon 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 13:00 and 14:30. We’ll put the exact pickup time for your hotel on your e-ticket once your booking is confirmed.
Pine forests and the Kemer coast on the drive
On the way to the base station, mountains, pine forests and the Kemer coast fill the bus windows, and Tahtali itself is visible from far away.
According to Google Maps, the drive to the base station takes about 20–40 minutes.
Up in a panoramic cabin
At the base station you collect your tickets and head to the panoramic cabin. The cable car takes guests up to Tahtali’s upper station in just 10 minutes.
The scenery changes fast on the way up: the sea drops away below, the mountains come closer and more of the Kemer coastline comes into view with each passing minute. The cabin holds 80 people, and its panoramic windows let you take your first photos during the ride.
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. That’s enough to walk out onto the viewing platform, take photos, breathe in the fresh mountain air and take in the panorama at your own pace.
On a clear day you can see the sea, the forested slopes and the resorts along the coast from the top.
Summit café and cool mountain air
At the top some guests head straight off to take photos, some simply watch the sea from above, and others stop at the café for a drink or a light snack. Food and drinks are paid for separately.
It’s usually 10–12 degrees cooler at the top than by the sea, so even in summer it’s worth bringing a light jumper or windbreaker to stay comfortable on the viewing platform.
Down by cable car and back to your hotel
After the free time you ride the cable car back down to the base station and board the bus for the journey back.
You’ll be back at your hotel between about 17:30 and 18:30. The time may vary slightly depending on where your hotel is, traffic, the weather, how the cable car is running and the pace of the group.
This trip suits anyone who would rather skip the early start: you have a relaxed breakfast, spend the morning by the pool, on the beach or at your hotel, and after lunch, on a clear day, see Kemer, the mountains and the Antalya coast from 2,365 metres.
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 on the Antalya coast. You can see it clearly 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 13:00 and 14:30. 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 17:30 and 18:30. 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?
The ride up takes about 10 minutes. The cabin moves smoothly and climbs quickly to the upper station, with views of the sea, mountains and coast on the way.
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 Kemer. It’s often windy at the top, so bring a light jumper, a windbreaker or another warm layer.
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 and cloud can partly hide the panorama, 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. Food and drinks are not included in the price of the afternoon tour.
Will my child have their own seat on the bus?
Children from 0 to 2 travel free: they sit on an adult’s lap and don’t take a seat of their own on the bus. If your child needs 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 spacious, 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, it’s best to stand near a window and look at the horizon.

Yes, you can fly from Tahtali on a tandem paraglider with a pilot. This is a separate
Gold Way Travel tour. You take off from the summit at
2,365 metres. The flight lasts about
25–35 minutes, and you land on the beach in Tekirova. For details and prices, see the
