About this place

Olympos Ancient City

Olympos Ancient City, Lycian-Roman ruins beside a forest beach near Çıralı, lies 98 km from Antalya Airport, a drive of 1 hour 41 minutes.

Olympos is an atmospheric spread of Lycian and Roman ruins in a forested valley opening onto a long pebble beach near Çıralı village, in Antalya province's Kumluca district, part of the Lycian cities group on Turkey's UNESCO tentative list. Stone sarcophagi, temple foundations and Byzantine basilica remains lie among pine and laurel trees either side of a small stream running down the valley to the sea.

The drive from Antalya Airport covers 98 km and takes 1 hour 41 minutes, following the coastal D400 before a final 7 km descent through pine forest to the Olympos ticket-office car park, where the ruins begin. At this distance, most visitors treat Olympos as a full day trip from an Antalya-region base rather than a quick stop.

From the car park, the ruins are explored on foot along shaded gravel paths following the stream through the valley, continuing to Olympos beach at the far, seaward end. The terrain is uneven in places, with tree roots and loose stone underfoot, so flat, sturdy shoes are advisable rather than a stroller.

Practical information

Time Needed
Allow 2–3 hours for the ruins alone; longer if you continue to the beach or Chimaera flames.
Footwear & Terrain
Gravel paths, tree roots and loose stones throughout the valley — sturdy flat shoes are more practical than sandals.
Shade & Water
Pine and laurel cover much of the site, though the beach end is fully exposed to sun.
Best Time of Day
Morning arrivals avoid the midday heat on the shadeless stretch toward Olympos beach.

Why MovXtra for your Olympos Ancient City transfer?

4 key benefits

Benefit 1

Olympos valley road, confirmed

Olympos Ancient City sits at the bottom of a forest valley, reached by a long winding descent off the coastal D400. We confirm the ticket-office car park as your drop-off point before leaving the airport.

Benefit 2

Beach and Chimaera flames nearby

Many guests combine Olympos with Çıralı beach and the Chimaera's eternal flames, a hike above the village. We route your transfer to make the most of a full day out from the airport.

Benefit 3

Fixed price, no surprises

Your Olympos rate is set at booking: no meter, no traffic surcharge, no detour fee for the forest descent. The price confirmed before you fly is the price you pay on arrival.

Benefit 4

Licensed and insured

MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, so your Olympos trip is covered by Turkish tourism-transport law from airport to ancient city.

Private transfer vs. taxi

Airport taxis to Olympos run on the meter, so a slow arrivals queue, roadworks on the D400, or a driver unsure of the ticket-office turn-off add to your fare. A fixed-price transfer is agreed before you land, covers the full 98 km run, and locks in the return leg regardless of traffic.

Planning Your Return Trip

Because Olympos is typically a full day out, your driver and vehicle stay with you rather than leaving after drop-off. Agree a pick-up time near the car park, and the same car takes you back to the airport.

The fare is per vehicle, not per person, so it covers the whole group and their luggage for one flat price, up to your vehicle's seating and boot capacity.

The drive from Antalya Airport to Olympos Ancient City covers 98 km and takes 1 hour 41 minutes by car. A taxi covers the same route in the same time, but on a running meter. Public transport to Olympos is indirect — a coach to the highway junction and then a local minibus — so most visitors take a taxi or a private transfer.
