Slide 1 of 8
A lot of shade and the smell of pine make this park very pleasant for a walk. The beach is shallow and warm, but there are also deeper areas for those who enjoy diving. Prices are a bit high for tourists. It’s a good idea to bring your own food and drinks, as options are limited, though you can still find something. Overall, a lovely place to relax and enjoy nature.
We waited around 30 minutes or more at the gate because it was crowded on a weekday. The Mountain View is amazing and spending time by nature there was fun, but I just found that the entrance for the local versus for tourists has a huge difference. After visiting the ancient city and the citadel, you have to sit by The beach there cause it is stunning. The water was amazing so bring your swimsuit with you if you’re planning to go there, lots were having picnics at the beach which was pretty fun. All in all we really enjoyed our time there but to be fair the price should be cheaper for tourists.
Have been here many times over the last 17 years, but this time, the beach was overflowing with litter, plastic bottles, diapers, paper and much more. When you pay 400 Lira per person, you expect the nature park to have good cleaning routines. On the positive side, work is now underway to restore the ruins and you can see the outlines of something great.
We went on a small trip with guide here. Picturesque views for cool photos, but too many Turkish people relaxing on the beach because it is cheaper for them. Anyway, it is cool to see how ancient people were living here and listen about their life.
A piece of history. Amazing view. Open world museum. Not five star because, you can basically come next to the sea by car.. The parking space should be more far away from the ancient city. There is no any table or information about the city, what im looking at or anything. And don't buy anything from the bodega if you don't really nedd, thats just crazy expensive..
Beautiful historic ruins and refreshing water negatively impacts by an insane amount of rubbish, plastic bottles, cigarette bits and more. When you pay 400 Lira per person, you expect a better kept park. Its exciting to see the work to restore the ruins.
Beautiful. All kinds of people. Locals having picnics. Families and friends swimming in the ocean. Tourists taking in the history. Very old and unique that you can explore the entire area without much restrictions
This place was beautiful! Well worth the visit! We god stuck in a HUGE line of cars waiting to park, so we drove onto the highway and took the next left, and took some backroads, arriving two bays south. We parked the car there and walked over to Phaselis, you can either walk over the cliff, or if you’re ok with water, along the face of the cliff where the sea meets it. Either way, better than waiting in the line of cars for hours!

great place, definitely worth visiting! after a 10 minute cable car ride with most incredible views you are on the top, enjoying the coolness and silence, surrounded by beautiful mountains, you can see the coastline and the sea. both stations (lower and upper) are equipped with toilets, on the upper one you can have a meal and drinks, also there is a kind of bungee swing.
Great experience. Was £36 each 6/9/25. Cable carts hold roughly 30 people. You can spend along as you want at the top. Mosque was closed, expo space was closed. Parking free at bottom. Nice road to the cable cart. Had fun racing up and down. Be careful as no barriers and if you go off you're probably dead.
Taking the Olympos Teleferik sounded exciting, but unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side. When we reached the top, everything was covered in thick fog we could barely see anything! It was a bit disappointing, especially since the ticket is quite pricey. If you plan to visit, definitely check the weather forecast beforehand. On a clear day, the view must be absolutely stunning, but in foggy conditions, you miss out on what makes the trip special. Most of the other activities at the top were also closed because of the weather. All in all, it was still an experience, but I wouldn’t go again. Once is enough and next time, I’d make sure to visit on a sunny day!
Excellent cable car ride. We didn’t have long to explore at the top though before we had to go sadly as we were accosted by the photographers who said there was no obligation to buy. We said no thank you numerous times and then gave in because they wouldn’t leave us alone. After having photos done in an out of bounds section at the top, the photographer took us to show us the photos. Even just one photo was 17 Euros alone so we declined even though they were very good. Despite not being obligated to buy, the photographer was not happy with us and pulled his face at us which I felt was rude. The gift shop was a little expensive but very good. The coffee shop was good value but staff were a little ignorant, looking me up and down. I enjoyed the cable car ride down. Recommended just to see the views alone.
Great place, beautiful views. Suitable for kids, gets crowded after a while but still very much worth it. Better to get the tickets online rather than local guides as it's cheaper.
To get to the lift there is a 20 min car journey from the road. The cable car is large and takes about 30 people. The height covered is so big that my es ached from the pressire changes. The view st the top was amazing. Take a jacket as it is cold. The building is spacious and the food adequate.
We went there with a rented car. Car broke down 800m from destination. Staff were very helpfull and found a man thats had jump leads to start the car and helped with this regard. Great views, and surprisingly cheaper prices on top of the mountain than at the bottom.
Great view - really nice excursion. However, the price tag is a bit high. We paid a bit below 200 € for 3 adults and two kids. The view is fantastic. Combine it with Paragliding and it is really worth it 👍.

It was my first time diving and it was really great experience thanks to Hasan and his team. Especially If you're a beginner you first get free practice and quick guide through fundamentals in the pool and you're set to dive the same day. If you're more serious about diving you can also pass certification with them and explore bigger depths of the sea. Price wise 50€ for first dive is very good price and well worth spent money. Overall it was just great experience, can't express enough how great it was to deal with Hasan, his wife and his team.
Highly recommend! We went for a dive here yesterday and it was an overall great experience in regards of safety, communication and interaction. Thank you!
The best instructor! And best experience! I was scared at first, but after some time snorkeling instructor proposed me diving. It was my very first time diving and this is definitely the person and place you want to trust. I was instructed for all signs the scuba divers use, how to regulate the pressure in the ears, how to remove water from the mouth and water from nose. After I wore the scuba gear we were getting used to this state for some time. As soon as I was ready, instructor proposed to dive. So we did. Firstly not too deep, then slowly and progressively deeper. Thanks to careful, supportive and reliable attitude of the instructor I reached 8 meters of deepness. We did some photos too and saw a lot of colorful fish. The general trip took around 30-40 minutes and finished as slowly and carefully as started. I’m infinitely thankful for this kind of understanding instructor which opened me the world of diving. Thank you! Will definitely come back.
An incredible diving experience with this dive center! The instructor is a true professional who does everything to make the dive both safe and unforgettable. They helped overcome the anxiety and fear of diving. The process is perfectly organized – from the briefing to the actual dive. The opportunity to see a variety of fish and shells was amazing. If you want to have an exciting and unforgettable diving experience, I highly recommend this center 100%.
We got certified at Blue World Diving Center and it was an unforgettable experience! Huge thanks to our instructor Bayram Cesur — his professionalism, clear explanations, and calm, friendly attitude made the whole learning process smooth, safe, and enjoyable. And a big thank you to both Bayram & Hasan Cesur for creating such a welcoming and professional diving center. Highly recommended!
Having not dived for over 10 years I enquired with Hasan about doing some refresher training 1st in the pool. Hasan was very thorough with me and checked I was happy before we proceeded a few days later in the sea. My wife who has always vowed never to go diving was also so impressed that she decided she would try it, she also did a fair amount of training in the pool with Hasan. She then felt confident enough to do a sea dive. She was given a one to one with one of the amazing staff and loved the experience so much she now wants to do more. If you have never tried diving before and are Of a nervous disposition then Hasan and his team are great in the way they deliver there training, they are calm patient and never rush you. They will give you an amazing experience you will never forget under the beautiful turkish sea.
The best diving experience ever! Trainer Hasan explained everything perfectly, especially for my child who was diving for the first time. High level of professionalism, perfectly organized route, very comfortable boat, great and safe equipment. We loved an amazingly friendly and supportive team. HIGHLY recommended if you need positive emotions and high quality! We will come back for sure. We have seen a lot of sea creatures including turtles as well as beautiful underwater landscapes near the islands.
Greatest diving experience, the team was very helpful and is very experienced. The route was planned perfectly. I have seen so many creatures including turtles eating sea grass.

From my first txt contact, collection from my hotel, briefing, meeting my pilot and then flight, after care and journey back to my hotel this company were professional and made my morning amazing. The experience was amazing and got great photos. My pilot looked after me. The safety was paramount for this company and I felt very safe. The take off and landing was super smooth and cannot recommend enough.
From start to finish, my paragliding experience with Escape Adventures was absolutely perfect. The customer service was outstanding every step of the way. Before the flight, a lovely lady explained everything clearly and made me feel safe and prepared. What impressed me most? Their focus on safety. Extra checks before and during the flight made me feel totally secure. The flight itself? Breathtaking. I genuinely wish everyone could have Ali as their pilot. He had the perfect mix of professionalism and humor that helped calm my nerves before takeoff. Thanks to his warm personality and entertaining approach he turned the whole thing into an unforgettable, entertaining ride. After landing, the team was still so kind and welcoming. If you're thinking about paragliding, don’t wait – just book with Escape Adventures. You won’t forget it!
WOW,WOW,WOW. I had an amazing paragliding experience with Escape Adventures, Kemer. The whole team were great throughout . Deniz was my fantastic tandem pilot. He was friendly, calming and so informative from start to finish. I was collected from the hotel with my friend and taken to their office base to sign t n c’s, then we were driven so far up the mountain with the team of pilots. We were then fast-tracked through the queue of people waiting to go up to the viewing platform by cable car to the top of the 2365 ft mountain. The views were incredible. After being introduced to our pilots, Deniz helped me into my paragliding equipment and gave instructions. We headed to the take off area, where all the equipment and fastenings were double checked by the team, along with further instructions given. Take off was smooth and words cannot explain the exhilarating feeling of gliding through the air. Deniz pointed out all the places of interest and was so knowledgeable. He was really chatty and made the flight fun. He allowed me to take hold of the controls and throughout took some amazing photos and videos. He performed some tricks and it was honestly better than any rollercoaster. We were met at the landing area and treated to a glass of champagne to toast the amazing experience. Then we returned to the office and after a few minutes wait Deniz went through the slideshow of photos and videos of the flight with me. I purchased the full package of photos, videos and 360 pictures, which were then downloaded to my phone. They were very reasonably priced, fantastic quality and worth every penny. We were then driven back to the hotel. THANK YOU DENIZ AND EVERYONE AT ESCAPE ADVENTURES FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY. 😊
It was the best experience, so beautiful and breathtaking! Onder is not only really professional as a pilot but as a bonus he is the cutest one. Photons and videos are really good quality too. You should try it 100%. Safe and adventurous.
🪂 Once in a Lifetime! Tandem Paragliding from Tahtalı Dağı (2365 m) with Önder – UNREAL! 🌄🌊✨ I honestly have no words to fully describe how mind-blowing this experience was – but I’ll try! Paragliding from the top of Tahtalı Dağı (Olympos), 2365 meters above sea level, was hands-down one of the most unforgettable moments of my life. And the one person who made it all possible – and absolutely perfect – was my amazing pilot, **Önder**. 🙌 From the moment we met, Önder made me feel 100% safe, excited, and ready to fly. His calm professionalism combined with his fun and positive energy instantly put me at ease. And when we took off… WOW. I felt like I was soaring straight into a dream. The views? Out of this world. Imagine gliding silently above the deep turquoise coastline, with the majestic Taurus Mountains behind you and the Mediterranean stretching to infinity below. The sky was crystal clear, the weather perfect, and the feeling of freedom absolutely indescribable. As you can see in the photo – we were having the time of our lives up there! Pure joy, adrenaline, peace, and awe all rolled into one surreal flight. Önder even added some smooth acrobatics at the end, which made the landing even more epic! If you’re anywhere near Antalya, Kemer, or the Olympos area cześć – do not miss this. And if you can, request Önder by name. You won’t regret it. I’ll be smiling from this flight for years to come. 10/10. Would fly again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Önder! 🪂🔥🇹🇷
Very kind, carefull and professional staff. A lot of fun and beautiful memories. Book directly without guides. Thank you so much for amazing day! Ps your kids can fly too, as of 5yo
I had a great time paragliding down mount Olympos, and got to see the beautiful landscape of Turkey’s coast. My flight instructor Onder really made the whole experience go to another level, especially with how interactive he was making sure I got the best of time. If anyone reading this ever gets the chance to take a flight with him make sure to let him know I had a great time.
Paragliding was the most exciting adventure I've ever had in Turkey. At first, I was a little worried about how it would go and how safe it was, but later, during the flight, I relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of soaring and the breathtaking views from above... I even touched the clouds! It was an exhilarating experience, and the instructor allowed me to take control and perform several maneuvers over the sea. The adrenaline, endorphins, and excitement left a lasting impression! A huge thank you to the instructor Evgeny, we found a common language with him, and although I had to wait for the departure due to weather conditions (not long, about an hour), I realized that everything would go cool with him, completely stopped worrying. In flight, he told how the paraglider is arranged, how to control it, what happens and why) Evgeny and the guys fulfilled the dream - to fly, to soar in the air! This was my first paragliding flight, but clearly not the last - now I know where to run first thing upon arrival at the resort. By the way, there are some cool photos left as a memento) For those who would like to fly, go ahead, you won't regret it!

I took the AOWD course with this dive center. Huge thanks to Daria and the rest of the crew! The communication was great and the trips were well organized. For experienced divers the location might be not the most exciting in the world, but it definitely has some hidden gems if you're lucky ;) Also this is the most turtles I've seen in a couple of days so far. I would especially recommend this dive center for Russian speaking tourists, as many of the crew are native or fluent in Russian.
If you're serious about diving, Tekirova Diving Center is the only place to go. I've been diving with them since 2016 – nine unforgettable years of exceptional service, personal attention, and absolute professionalism. The instructors are not just highly skilled – they are the best I've met in Turkey. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to build your diving experience, this is the team you can trust. Forget rushed group dives in murky waters. Here, you're guided step by step, safely and calmly, by people who truly care. Tekirova Diving Center is not just a dive – it's a true experience.
It was a good idea to take a private boat for diving and just relax only for our family (4 hours).👍 Mr.Rafael is a real professional instructor.💣💥 We forgot about our fear of diving, felt comfortable with his help under water, we saw a beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. He made a wonderful photos of our diving. We highly recommended for unforgettable time. Thank You Tekirova Diving Center.❤❤❤❤❤
I had the chance to dive with Tekirova Diving Center last week. Thanks to Alper and his team, I really enjoyed the afternoon. The atmosphere was relaxed but everything was professional and well organized. The entire staff was friendly and helpful but I have to highlight my guide Hashmed who was truly great. Many thanks again !
We are very happy to dive several times with this very kind and professional crew!
Very nice diving center! I've got the PADI certification without any problems and moreover with a very nice team!
