Where Is Olympos? Which District Does Olympos Belong To? Hello everyone—‑in this article we’ll answer the questions “Where is Olympos located and to which district does it belong?”
Olympos has become a favourite in recent years and a haunt for adventurers; it’s a stunning area where green and blue nature embrace each other. So, where exactly is popular Olympos situated? Part of Antalya’s Kumluca district, Olympos is 27 km from Kumluca and 44 km from Antalya’s Kemer. Getting there can be a little tricky, as even the nearest airport—Antalya Airport—is 100 km away.
Yet that difficulty is one reason Olympos’ nature remains unspoilt. Personally, I visit this unique beauty every year. If you now have a rough idea of Olympos’ location and access, you can find details on how to get there in our post How to Go to Olympos?
