How to Get to Olympos? Olympos Transport Details – hello everyone! In this post we share information on how to reach Olympos.
Wondering how to get to Olympos? There are four main ways: by coach, by plane, with your own car, or – why not – by your private yacht
You can find full information about Olympos in our Olympos Travel Guide.
How to Reach Olympos by Coach
If you plan to travel by intercity bus, choose coaches heading to Finike. Get off at the Olympos junction and switch to the minibuses that run at set intervals into town.
These shuttles depart every 30 minutes and charge 50 TL per person. If you love hiking, we suggest skipping the 50 TL and enjoying a 25‑ to 30‑minute walk through the enchanting trees to reach Olympos – a great way to soak up nature.
NOTE: Walking in is delightful, but the uphill walk back can be tiring. Best plan: walk in, ride the minibus back.
Coach Companies Serving Olympos
Several companies run services to Olympos. Our first pick is Kamil Koç. Another is the scandal‑prone Metro Turizm. And the long‑time quality choice: Ulusoy Turizm. The choice is yours.
We like boarding at night and arriving early in the morning – you don’t lose a day. And when you arrive, don’t worry about what to do; no need to settle into your room right away…
How to Reach Olympos by Plane
After landing at Antalya Airport there are several options. For 300‑500 TL you can take shuttle minibuses or intercity buses from the airport to the Olympos junction.
At the junction you again use minibuses to reach the centre. Alternatively, buses and minibuses toward Finike‑Kaş also work. Either way you reach Olympos’s natural beauty quickly and comfortably.

Flying can be tiring: transfers from airport to Olympos, junction changes and multiple transport legs, especially for families or groups.
If you want direct and comfortable travel, coach is sensible. It takes you straight to Olympos and minimises extra transfers – and tickets are budget‑friendly.
If you’d rather road‑trip in your own car, we highly recommend checking this route on Google Maps.
