Tahtalı Dağı

Tahtalı Dağı, also known as Lycian Olympus, is a mountain near Kemer, a seaside resort on the Turkish Riviera in Antalya Province, Turkey.

Its close proximity to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea also make it visible from afar to mariners.

In spring dust in the Saharan winds color these peaks reddish brown.

The cable car company Olympos Teleferik, a Turkish-Swiss Cooperation, has been in operation since June 16, 2007.

Its bottom station is located within 8 km of both Tekirova and Çamyuva on the eastern side of the mountain.

It was built by the Doppelmayr / Garaventa Group, one of the leading companies in the design and manufacture of cable cars.

The funicular has two cabins able to transport up to 80 individuals and overcome the height difference of 1639 m within 10 minutes with the help of a 1000 kW engine.
