Mount Tahtalı Cable Car
If you find yourself in the Kemer region of Antalya, a ride on the Mount Tahtalı Cable Car should undoubtedly be at the top of your holiday itinerary. Known by its fitting motto, 'From Sea to Sky,' this exceptional experience transports you from the sun-drenched beaches of Kemer high above the clouds to the majestic summit of Mount Tahtalı, standing at 2,365 metres. It's not merely a cable car journey; it's an unforgettable adventure offering breathtaking Mediterranean vistas. ### The Call of the Summit Upon arriving at the cable car station, your excitement begins long before you step into a cabin. The spacious cabins, accommodating up to 80 people, feature full glass walls, providing panoramic 360-degree views throughout the 10-15 minute ascent. As you climb, the lush pine forests, the formidable slopes of the Taurus Mountains, and the picturesque coastline where blue meets green unfurl beneath you like a living painting. Once at the summit, you're greeted by an endless expanse of the azure Mediterranean, a sweeping coastline stretching from Finike to Alanya in the distance, and the snow-capped peaks of the Taurus range. The scenery here is indescribably beautiful. Have your cameras ready, for there are countless stunning memories to capture from every angle. ### Activities at the Summit Mount Tahtalı Cable Car stands out not just for its views but also for the facilities it offers at the summit. You'll find a restaurant and cafeteria serving hot and cold beverages and delicious meals. Sipping coffee or enjoying a snack whilst taking in the views is an essential part of the summit experience. There's also a gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs for loved ones. For adrenaline seekers, activities like paragliding are available. Soar gracefully from the mountain slopes for a unique bird's-eye view, satisfying your craving for adventure. In winter, when the summit is covered in snow, this experience becomes even more enchanting. You can enjoy walks in the snowy landscape, have a snowball fight, and spend a day straight out of a winter fairy tale. Remember, the weather at the summit is typically colder than below, so be sure to dress in layers. Mount Tahtalı Cable Car is one of the most memorable activities in the Kemer region, perfect for families and adventure enthusiasts alike. If you wish to add a different dimension to your holiday and witness the unique nature of the Mediterranean from above, this experience is not to be missed.

History
Mount Tahtalı has been an important natural landmark of the region since ancient times. Known as 'Olympos' in ancient Lycia, this mountain was often referred to in mythological tales as the abode of the gods. The ancient city of Olympos, particularly associated with the legendary fire of Chimera, lies at the foot of the mountain. Today, the Tahtalı Cable Car project has opened this ancient peak to visitors using modern technology. Completed in 2007, the cable car line, with its impressive length of 4,350 metres, is among the longest in the world. This project has breathed new life into regional tourism, making Kemer and Antalya even more renowned globally. The Mount Tahtalı Cable Car is not merely a means of transportation but a modern symbol where thousands of years of history and natural beauty converge.Visiting information
