WeCare Premium Tour: Olympos Cable Car & Tahtalı Mountain Summit
The Olympos Cable Car (Olympos Teleferik) climbs from sea level to 2,365m — the summit of Tahtalı Mountain — in just 10 minutes, offering panoramic Mediterranean coast views and on a clear day visibility extending to Cyprus. Listed as one of Europe's longest passenger cable car routes (4,350m total length). WeCare runs the day with chauffeur, cabin standby, and a curated Phaselis combo for archaeology.
What the Day Looks Like
09:00 — Hotel pickup. Chauffeur in your hotel lobby with name card. Mercedes V-Class for the 60-minute drive.
09:00-10:00 — Drive Antalya → Tekirova cable car base. 60 km via D400 west past Kemer to Tekirova, where the Olympos Cable Car base station is located.
10:00-10:15 — Cable car ticket purchase. WeCare chauffeur helps with ticket booth (TRY only, €25-30 adult round-trip).
10:15-12:00 — Summit experience. 10-minute cable car ascent to 2,365m summit. Summit features: 360-degree viewing platform (Mediterranean to the south, Toros peaks to the north), cafe/restaurant, walking paths. Allow 90 minutes at summit for photos, café break, walking exploration.
12:00-12:15 — Cable car descent. Return to base station.
12:15-13:30 — Lunch at Tekirova or Phaselis area. Multiple options: cable car base restaurant, Tekirova beach restaurants, or Phaselis archaeological-park café.
13:30-15:30 — Optional: Phaselis ancient ruins. 3 km from the cable car base. Roman-Lycian harbor city with beach amid ruins — one of Turkey's most photogenic combinations of swimming + archaeology. Site entry 200 TRY.
15:30-16:30 — Return drive to Antalya. 60 km east; arrive at hotel ~16:30.
Why WeCare for the Cable Car
The Tekirova cable car base has limited parking; the 60 km each-way drive is tedious self-driving. WeCare's chauffeur handles the logistics so you focus on the cable car experience and the spectacular summit views. Plus the Phaselis combo addition turns a 4-hour activity into a memorable full-day cultural + nature experience.
