Itinerary
Pick up your rental car at the airport and drive to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time, you may visit some of the nearby sites like the Old Town, Antalya Archaeology Museum, Perge ancient city, or just relax at the Konyaaltı Beach.
Overnight at Belmondo Hotel, Antalya
After breakfast, you’ll drive to the ruins of Phaselis; the sea here is just as or even more impressive than the ancient ruins themselves, swimming is highly recommended! Then, from the coast you’ll head straight up into the mountains, taking a cable car to the top of Mt. Tahtali (Mt. Olympos) which sits at over 2000m. Time permitting, hike from Ulupinar straight to your hotel in Cirali, seeing the legendary fires of Chimera on the way.
Overnight in Naturlife Bungalows, Cirali.
Driving Distance: 90 km
Take a morning walk along the beach to visit the coastal ruins of Olimpos. Then head to Myra and the Church of St. Nicolas on your way to Hoyran, a small settlement surrounded by ancient rock tombs. Away from the crowds, you’ll feel like the first people to discover these hidden ruins. This is also where you’ll be spending the night tonight.
Dinner and overnight stay at Hoyran Wedre Evleri.
Driving Distance: 100 km
Your first stop today is Kekova, home to an ancient city that was partially submerged after an earthquake in ancient times. The best way to visit these ruins is by boat, which is why we’ve arranged a boat tour for you today. After the boat trip, you’ll head to Kas, a lively seaside town. Take lots of time to explore the bars, cafes, ruins and shops on the stone-paved backstreets of Kas.
Overnight stay at Payam Hotel (upgraded room).
Driving Distance: 64 km
From your hotel in Kas, you’ll head up to Gombe, where traditionally, shepherds living near Kas would bring their flocks in summer. Enjoy the fresh, cool mountain air with a short loop walk around Gombe’s green lake, and then a picnic on its shady shores. You’ll then head to Tlos, a lesser explored but amazing ancient city, where you’ll spend the night.
Overnight stay at Tlos Boutique Hotel (upgraded room).
Driving Distance: 125 km
Start your day by exploring the ruins of Tlos. Hopping in the car, you’ll head to Pinara, another ancient site located in a tranquil mountain setting of pines and olive trees. Here you’ll take a short walk and be served a traditional village lunch. Then drive to Oludeniz where you’ll be staying for the night.
Overnight at Ecclesia Hotel, Oludeniz.
Driving Distance: 62 km
After a quick transfer, start the day with a hike through the abandoned Greek village near modern day Kayakoy and back down to Oludeniz on a scenic path.
