Tahtalı Dagi

Impressive views from the top, but customer care could do with considerable improvement
Review of Skip the Line: Olympos Teleferik Cable Car Antalya Ticket
Pending review
Impressive views at the top of the mountain, but basic principles of customer care and empathy were fundamentally lacking from the outset of this experience.

Upon arrival at the entrance, it was apparent the single front desk operative was unable to cope with the demand from arriving coach loads of tourists. There was no queuing system, nor any means for crowd control other than surging masses of tourists waiting to board the cable car. Scenes at the outset felt chaotic, disorganised and did not provide a positive start to this experience.

After eventually receiving our barcoded tickets to board the cable car, we had to wait for the next cable car to arrive. Average waiting time is 10 minutes to board. The cable car itself is something of an experience: you are crammed into the cable car like sardines, the interior of the cable car is cramped and there is no concept of social distancing despite many tourists wearing face masks. After about 10 minutes of ascent, the ordeal is finally over and you arrive at the top of Tahtali mountain.

The view from the top of Tahtali at 2366m above sea level is impressive and the temperatures are naturally cooler at this altitude. There are various eateries and cafes at the summit, but they are clearly overpriced and intended to exploit tourism.

Aside from the view of the mountains and the ocean on the opposite side of the summit, there is not much else to do at the top. Thankfully our descent down was a slightly less stressful experience and there were only about 40-50 people boarding the cable car on the way down.

Hard to write a good review when you can't see anything from the top, it was far, far to cloudy for us, on the day we'd chose.

I know this seems strange because turkey is so hot but you need to pick your days and times correctly, unlike we did unfortunately because of the hight at the summit

We are a fairly optimistic couple most of the time, but with the clouds there is litrally no point,

Lastly the staff aren't friendly at all, they are very blunt and rude, but half of this may be language barrier so don't get to upset with them.

The cable car up is cramped, they out about 70 people in one car, but it did feel very safe.

All standing cable car squished in bored on the way up squished in bored on the way down,Oh nearly forgot there's a boring bit in the middle.Look North look South look east look west and your all done. Two persons equals waste of £72.

Visited here in August with family. The problem with a pre booked excursion is that you can't book the weather as well. We were lucky as the clouds that often surround the peak cleared long enough for us to enjoy the stunning view and get pictures.
Take a jacket or warm cardi as even in the heat of summer the peak is cold to freezing.
The cable car ride to the summit is an amazing experience in itself although again low cloud banks can obscure the view. The cars take eighty people a time so it can feel a little claustrophobic.
If you want a boarding tip it would be this. Eighty people are counted into a boarding queue with a scanned pass. If you can see from the queue that you are not going to get by the window hang back make yourself last to get on that means letting everyone board before yourself. As you step on to the cable car the doors close behind you, turn round and you are right in front of the glass doors. A perfect view.
Be aware of the summit photographers they insist on taking a stack of pics this way and that. It can work out at hundreds of pounds for them. We nearly paid £200 sterling for 18 pics that we really didn't need.

beautiful experience but very very very cold, nice view. a good fresh air. just amazing place to take pictures and to be away from the city and everyone. a couple of moments to feel the earth

Tahtalı Mountain is a majestic mountain in the north of Kemer. Ascending the peak point of 2365m with the aerial tramway, you can see the heart stopping landscape of Çıralı and Olympos beach. You should certainly have a cup of coffee and if you have enough courage you should try paragliding. Don’t forget to have thick clothes cos it’s cool up there.

It was amazing !! We enjoyed our trip, definitely something to do if you are in Turkey!! I was a bit scared at first but everything is great and smooth. The professional pictures were such a good quality. Thank you.

We did this as part of an excursion offered by Thomas Cook and we were blown away by the views from the top. Yes the cable cars get full up (70 passengers) but there was still lots of room in there and in 10 minutes you have reached the summit 2365 meters high. The temperature is normally 12 degrees lower so I would recommend taking an extra layer to put on once you reach the top. Once up the top you can literally see for miles, all of the coastline along to Antalya as well as across the whole mountain range. There is a cafe at the top so you can get a drink and something to eat whilst soaking up the views. I would highly recommend doing this trip.

Nice overview of the sea area from the mountain perspective.
Nevertheless, no possibility to make even short walk from the station as the station is surrounded by fence.

Traveled by cable car to the top of Tahtall Mountain and what a great trip it was, a beautiful vista opens before you and it is in more ways than one breathtaking. We booked through a local tourist office in Kemer (Maxwell Tours) and the service was good. It was also cheaper than going through the hotel rep. We saw some people paragliding off the top of the mountain but not for me though. At the top you were able to get refreshments and a snack if you wanted to and the service was good.Just be aware of the photographers at the top they were a bit in your face and started to take pictures of you even when we said no.It was a great experience from beginning to the end.
