As the tour consisted of a driver ferrying a minibus to and from the Teleferik lower terminus, there is not a lot to say. He was professional enough, as I noted from my vantage point in the front passenger seat. The bus picked me up late but that may not have been his fault. The cable car trip was fab, and the 1 1/2 hours on the summit was enough to admire the views, eat and potter around.
The views from the top of Mt Tahtali over the surrounding countryside and the Mediterranean are simply spectacular. And the journey to the top is just as much fun. At 4,350 metres, the Olympos Aerial Tram is one of the longest in the world and an adventure in itself.
You'll board the gondola at the modern base station and ascend over the Olympos-Beydaglari National Park. The summit is at 2,365 metres above sea level and is snowcapped in winter. As you climb, you'll be treated to some fantastic views that stretch far out over the sea.
And it gets even better when you reach the top – the viewing platforms at the upper station provide a 360-degree panorama across the surrounding landscape.
