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.

“We booked a private transfer with MovXtra before arriving in Turkey, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication via both email and WhatsApp was quick, friendly, and professional. We were a group of 14 people, and during our holiday we used their services for several transfers. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, the driver was friendly and helpful, and every journey went perfectly. 🚐👌 There is honestly nothing we could fault. We will definitely use MovXtra again on our future trips to Antalya. Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced private transfer service in Antalya. 🙏🇹🇷”

“I used Movxtra for both my airport transfers in Antalya — from the airport to my hotel and then back to the airport. I was very satisfied with the service from start to finish. The website is very easy to use, with clear and fixed prices, and there is no need to pay in advance. You simply pay the driver after arriving at your destination, which I found very convenient. Their WhatsApp communication is also excellent — they respond extremely quickly. After making the booking, I recommend contacting them directly on WhatsApp, as it makes communication even faster and easier. Both drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, spacious, and had good air conditioning. I would definitely recommend Movxtra, especially if you want a reliable airport transfer without having to pay upfront. The fixed price and payment upon arrival make the whole process simple and stress-free. Very good service and definitely a company I would use again!”

Olympos Ancient City transfer — frequently asked questions

Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.

Tap a question to view details.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

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.

How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Olympos Ancient City?

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.

Does the driver wait, or do I need to arrange a separate return?

For the return leg, your driver either waits with the vehicle for the day or comes back at a pick-up time you agree in advance; both options are arranged before you set off from the airport.

Where do I meet my driver, and where does the transfer end?

Your driver meets you at the pickup address you enter when booking — your hotel, villa or any address in the region. Arriving on a flight? They meet you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, just past baggage claim.

Can I request a child seat or extra luggage space?

One child seat is free on request — tell us the child's age when you book. If you need more than one, tell us too: we can't promise it, but we will do our best. Extra luggage space can be requested when you book too, so your vehicle is ready for family groups or bulky bags before you land.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your trip starts at Antalya Airport, we check your flight before pickup and adjust it to your actual landing time at no extra cost.
