Review the Olympos Teleferik from Antalya or Kemer, with cable car views, mountain tips, transport advice, value, and honest drawbacks.

“The trip to Tahtali Mountain was a great morning activity. We met with the transport at a hotel that was more central than where we were staying and this collected all of the other guests and took us to the base of the mountain to take the cable car. We were given a generous amount of time at the summit to take everything in and then we returned down to the specified meeting point for our journey back. The guide was clear with the time and location of the pick up for the journey home and we were left to explore how we wished. Really enjoyed it and weather was…”

The highlights were the cities of Perge and the theatre at Aspendos, but the waterfalls were also very beautiful.”

Explore Selge, Eagle Canyon, Roman bridges, and aqueducts on an $45 day trip from Side with lunch by the Koprucay River.

“I wouldn’t recommend this trip. We were picked up and at the first stop we were placed at a table and told to wait. We kept asking what we were waiting for and how long and they just kept saying 5-10 min. It ended up being an hour which was obviously intended since we were apparently waiting for a group to finish their rafting activity. No one told us and it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. The car ride up the mountain has insanely loud music which was fun on the way there , on the way home I wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t there anymore. The guide tried to shout…”

“Trip got cancelled due to weather, normally this would be ok, but they did not refund me even after promising to, I ended up actioning this via the Viator staff. So no idea on the trip itself, but very unimpressed with the organisers. The said "at your service 7/24", but failed to answer simple questions on recommended clothing, etc?”
