Olympos Teleferik — Attraction in Kemer

Unfortunately, we visited on a wrong day. It was cloudy and rainy, the lockdown was on and so we decided to go for the cable car. The smaller cable car near Antalya was closed and so we decided to visit this place. It's a bit far from Antalya city and is on a hill top. Had we known it would be this far, considering the cost of cab and time and the weather conditions, we might have decided to not go. But we didn't realise and went. The cost of the cable car ride was around 80 Euros for two people. The cable car is big, it seats around 40 people. They have cut the capacity to half but you still share it with many people which is not recommended in these covid times. Anyways, when we reached there we were told about the cloud situation and were shown the views from cameras on the cable car. It was all hazy and nothing was visible. So we decided against taking the ride. They have a small cafe on site, where we had hot dogs and coffee and came back. In short, we didn't take the cable car ride for which we went but it still was a good trip for us since we enjoyed the beautiful drive and got to see some beautiful scenery and picturesque views. Due to lockdown we didn't have much other options but for others who plan to go, do consider the distance, the cost, the weather, travelling issues with kids and elderly etc. Not much to do there besides the cable car. Cafe is also very limited, I'm sure due to the covid lockdown, but you don't have very many options there for either a picky eater or a person with food conditions. PS: on our way back we found out that the smaller cable car had started that day so we stopped there. Would recommend that strongly. It's closer, it's cheaper, more accessible and has beautiful views of the entire...

My visit to Olympos Teleferik was met with mixed feelings due to the unfortunate weather conditions on the day of my visit. I had been looking forward to the cable car ride and the panoramic views from the summit of Mount Olympos, but the cloudy weather significantly impacted the overall experience.

The cable car ride itself was smooth, however, as we ascended, we found ourselves surrounded by dense clouds, which obscured the breathtaking landscapes that I had seen in pictures. Unfortunately, the visibility was limited, and I couldn't appreciate the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea or the lush forests below.

At the summit, the cloud cover persisted, and the observation deck, which would have provided stunning views on a clear day, offered only glimpses of the surrounding scenery. While I understand that weather conditions are beyond the control of the venue, I couldn't help but feel disappointed that I couldn't experience the panoramic vistas that Olympos Teleferik is known for.

The ticket prices for the Olympos Teleferik trip were significantly higher compared to other similar cable car rides and tourist attractions in the region. While I expected to pay a premium for the unique experience of ascending Mount Olympos and witnessing the stunning scenery, the cost seemed disproportionate to the overall offering. There were limited additional amenities or attractions at the summit to justify the high cost.

If you plan to visit, I recommend checking the weather forecast in advance to increase the likelihood of having a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. While my visit was not as memorable as I had hoped, I still appreciate the effort put into maintaining the cable cars and providing a...

We were there in August, below it was hot, about 30 deg C. We were said that the temperature above is 16 deg and took warm clothes with us, but this was absolutely not needed. The temperature was higher as it was very sunny day.

The place and the lift provide indeed spectacular views. For us it was moderate experience as we go skiing every year and are used to the mountain lifts. And this is expensive: 40 dollars for a return ticket.

There is a buggy jumping for 50-60 dollars above. Quite an adrenaline for those who like it.

There is also paragliding. Probably, this is a true thing why people go there, but we had no plans to do it.

We were planning to do some hiking from the top. There's no path going to the start of the lift below. There is a path going to a village Beicik down in the valley. So, there are two options: going to the village and trying to get back to the lift by taxi (if you have your car parked near the lift) or going down and back again to the upper part of the lift. We did the latter. However I cannot recommend this route. The path is covered with loose stones and it is tricky to go down. The mountain above is not interesting. There are no trees, only desert covered...
