Itinerary
Arrival to the starting point
The tour starts in Antalya and there is Antalya airport (AYT).

It is advised to arrive one day before, but it is also possible to start it right from the airport in the morning.

We’ll provide you with detailed instructions for reaching city center from the airport and good cafes to eat in.
Day 1
Kuzdere to Beycik
The driver will pick you up at 9 am from your hotel in Antalya and take you to the trail (1.20m ride).

Today’s Hiking Options:

1️⃣ Full Hike: Yaylakuzdere to Beycik, with an optional Tahtali summit — 12 km (1000 m ascent/descent) or 18 km (1500 m ascent/descent).

2️⃣ Cable Car + Hike: Transfer to the cable car ($20 USD one-way) to reach the summit, then descend — 9 km (1500 m descent).
Day 2
Beycik to Çıralı
Breakfast and departure. 17 km with 800-meter descent.

Your second 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.
Day 3
Out-and-back hike in Çıralı
Today’s hike is an out-and-back route from the hotel, allowing you to start whenever you’re ready.

The 9 km trail follows a scenic coastal path from Çıralı to a beach on the way to Tekirova, passing through a pine forest with stunning sea views and secluded beaches along the way.

You’re free to hike as much or as little as you prefer. If you need a break, feel free to skip the hike entirely and take the day to rest and recover from the previous days’ hikes.
Our transfer will take you to the Olimpos bus stop, providing easy connections to your next destination, or a private transportation can be arranged.
