Antalya Airport to Olympos Ancient City Transfer Price
Olympos sits in a jungle-green river gorge that opens onto a quiet beach, about 1 hour 40 minutes from Antalya Airport — one of the most atmospheric ruins on this coast precisely because it hasn't been tidied up. Roman baths and a Byzantine basilica are still tangled in laurel and fig trees rather than roped off in a manicured park.
Ruins in the Jungle
Dating back to the 2nd century BC, Olympos was a leading city of the Lycian League, an early democratic union of Lycian cities. Its theater, necropolis, and temple ruins are scattered through the gorge, connected by informal paths rather than a paved tourist route — part of what makes exploring it feel like a genuine discovery.
The Lycian Way and Tree Houses
Olympos sits directly on the Lycian Way, one of the world's great long-distance hiking trails, making it a natural stop for hikers passing through. The village itself is known almost as much for its tree-house camps and garden bungalows as for the ruins, and the Chimaera's eternal flames are a short hike or drive away.
Good to Know
- Best for: hikers, ruins that feel undiscovered, and a genuinely quiet beach at the gorge's mouth
- Combine with: Çıralı, right next door, for the Chimaera flames and turtle-nesting beach
