Itinerary
The driver will pick you up at 10 am fromAntalya and take you to the trail (50m ride), where you will start your hike. Today the route is 11 km long.
Today’s hike is the perfect introduction to your adventure — a warm-up day designed to ease you in. The trail takes you along a scenic unpaved road nestled in the heart of the forest, providing a soft, comfortable path underfoot.

As you walk, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of sea and mountains. The distance is manageable and can be completed in just three hours, leaving you plenty of time to soak in the surroundings and enjoy the journey.
Day 1
The second day takes you deeper into the wilderness, combining invigorating climbs and descents with stunning views of both the mountains and the sea. The 12-kilometer trail features a steady 600-meter gain and loss, keeping your legs active and your spirits high.

For those seeking an extra challenge, an optional 6-kilometer round-trip ascent to Tahtalı Dağı (Mount Olympus) is available. The climb adds an additional 500 meters of elevation gain and offers unparalleled panoramic views from the summit, making it a truly rewarding experience.

After a fulfilling day, you’ll arrive at a charming small village for the night. Accommodation options include cozy local guesthouses, with the possibility of upgrading to a boutique hotel for added comfort.
Day 2
Your third day promises a diverse and exciting journey. The first 8 kilometers take you along a gentle unpaved road or comfortable trail. The trail then becomes more rugged, offering more challenging terrain. Along the way, you’ll pass fascinating ruins and the famous Mount Chimera, where eternal flames rise mysteriously from the ground — an unforgettable sight.

The hike ends in the picturesque seaside town of Çıralı, where a pristine beach awaits you for some well-deserved relaxation. You can choose to spend the night in Çıralı, enjoying its serene atmosphere, or transfer to Antalya to conclude your adventure.

For those staying in Çıralı, a visit to the Olympos ruins is highly recommended. Explore this ancient Lycian city nestled in a lush valley—a perfect way to cap off an incredible journey.
