Private Transfer toOlympos Beach
Where a 2,000-year-old Lycian city opens onto a wild, protected pebble shore — Antalya's most atmospheric beach.
Olympos Beach
Olympos Beach is unlike any resort strand on the Antalya coast: a roughly 500-metre crescent of clean pebble and coarse sand at the mouth of a forested river valley, reached only by strolling through the romantic, ivy-draped ruins of the ancient Lycian city of Olympos. Set inside Olympos Beydağları National Park, it has no high-rise hotels, no blaring beach bars and no rows of branded loungers — just pine-clad mountains tumbling to crystal-clear, blue-green water that's superb for swimming and snorkelling. It's a protected Caretta caretta turtle nesting site, so the mood is wild, eco-conscious and refreshingly low-key. Backpackers in tree-house lodges mix with curious culture-lovers and families seeking something authentic. If you want history, nature and turquoise sea in one unforgettable day, Olympos rewards the journey.

Olympos Beach transfer · frequently asked
How do I get to Olympos Beach from Antalya Airport?
It's about 92 km (roughly 1.5 hours) from Antalya Airport along the coastal mountain road. The easiest option is a SooTransfer private transfer: a typical round trip for the group runs around €130–160 depending on vehicle, and our driver waits while you explore the ruins, swim and even visit the Chimaera flames, then brings you back to your hotel — no timetables, no transfers, no stress.
What's the best way to visit — taxi, bus or private transfer?
Public buses involve a connection at Kumluca or Çıralı plus a final shuttle and rigid schedules, while metered taxis can be costly and won't wait. A SooTransfer private transfer is the smart choice: one fixed price, door-to-door from your hotel, a driver who waits and the freedom to combine the beach, ancient city and Chimaera in a single day.
Is there an entrance fee for Olympos Beach?
The beach itself is free, but the main access path runs through the Olympos ancient-city site, so you'll buy a low-cost ruins ticket at the gate (free with a Museum Card). There's also a small parking fee. Budget a few euros per person.
Are there sunbeds, umbrellas and facilities on the beach?
No — this is a protected, undeveloped national-park beach with no rental loungers, umbrellas or waterfront restaurants. Bring your own shade, water and snacks; only a basic café near the entrance is available. That wildness is exactly what makes it special.
Is Olympos Beach good for families and swimming?
Yes. The water is clean, clear and excellent for swimming and snorkelling, and the dramatic ruins make it fun for curious kids. Just note it's pebble rather than soft sand, the water deepens fairly quickly, and there's a 15–20 minute walk in — a private transfer to the gate makes it far easier with children and gear.
