Olympos Travel Guide
How to go to Olympos?
Olimpos, which impresses anyone with its deep blue sea, is located in the southern parts of Turkey's map. It is possible to reach many routes of Olympos, surrounded by popular towns of Antalya such as Adrasan, Kumluca, Finike, Demre and Tekirova, both by private vehicle and by public transportation. Olympos has a distance of approximately 78.4 km, that is, 1 hour and 17 minutes, to the city center of Antalya. Therefore, if you prefer a private vehicle to go to Olympos, you can reach the destination within 1 and a half hours by choosing the D400 route. In addition, you can use the Adrasan-Çıralı minibuses that regularly depart from Antalya Bus Terminal in summer months at points where there is no private vehicle.
What to Eat in Olympos?
When it comes to one of the most popular resorts of Antalya such as Olympos, of course, the magical world of Mediterranean greenery welcomes us. You can encounter flavors blended with Mediterranean greens in the elaborate menu of many restaurants you visit in Olympos. When you say the famous dish of Olympos, Hibeş comes to mind in the first place. Hibeş appetizer made with tahini and lemon is especially preferred as a delicious snack alongside fish menus. Another flavor that you should not return without eating at Olympos is tomato juice. Tomato juice, where you can catch a very mild flavor through onions, tomatoes, peppers, rice and carrots, is one of the flavors that you should not return without eating. “Not without coming to the Mediterranean and eating seafood!” If you are one of those, you can choose restaurants where you can consume trout and seafood derivatives. At this point, we recommend Arikanda Restaurant, Panorama Restaurant and Botanic Restaurant facilities where you can get maximum flavor efficiency. You can also choose the Arikanda River Garden facility, which is frequented by holidaymakers, for lighter flavors and daily snacks.

At this point, you can review the Olimpos paid campsites guide, which we have prepared before, in order to make the most comfortable choice among the paid facilities. You can choose the Peacock Camping / Caravan facility for a facility with wide service opportunities where you can feel the comfort of home while providing transportation from the heart of the city, both by private vehicle and by public transportation. The facility, which offers tent accommodation, caravan parking area and bungalow facilities, has many opportunities from chemical destruction point to dishwashing area.

What Activities Are Done in Olympos?
When you step into the holy lands of Olympos, you do not have a chance to return without experiencing the activities. On your Olympos travel route, we recommend that you first visit the ancient cities and discover a deep-rooted history. In addition to the city ruins, you can take time to get to know a fascinating nature that combines blue and green, trekking activity. To experience the blue textures after discovering the green, we recommend a boat tour in the Olympos region where you can explore regions such as Porto Ceneviz, Sazak, Aquarium coves and Lovers' Cave. We also recommend you to participate in scuba diving activities to examine the clear surface of the sea as well as the land. When you come to Olympos and want to experience an adventurous activity, you should definitely consider rock climbing. Olympos is seen among the most special regions of Turkey for rock climbing. You can accumulate pleasant and adventurous memories at nearly 400 climbing points in the town.

What to Buy from Olympos?
You should not come all the way to Olympos and return without buying a gift that will make your loved ones happy or that you can remember for a lifetime. At the beginning of the things you can buy from Olympos, natural products such as tomato paste, jam, cheese and bread come from the hands of the locals in the first place. In addition, there are many points where they sell the greens and fruits they grow in their natural gardens. For this, you can go to the Kumluca market, which is set up on Fridays, and do a nature-themed shopping. In addition to food alternatives, if you want to choose clothes or daily gifts, you can visit the markets where magnets and ornaments are sold. You can also leave a wonderful memory of Olympos in your closet by purchasing hand-stitched clothes with ethnic patterns.

Editor Suggestion
While our soul remains in Olympos, I would like to conclude the Olympos travel guide with a few editorial suggestions. From the moment you step into Olympos, the paradise of blue, you will be enchanted by the beauty of the sea at every point you turn your head. Therefore, I recommend you to be at a point where you can see the sea at every second of your holiday. You can meet the day with a blue sea view and finish your lunch and dinner at a restaurant against the unique waters of the Mediterranean. While evaluating various activities and accommodation alternatives that you can enjoy while staying on your Olympos itinerary, we recommend you to take a trip to the magical lands of the ancient cities.
