Route
Private transfer, clear fare.
Traveling from the refined resort setting of Side in Manavgat to the protected coastal valley of Olimpos Plajı in Kemer spans the width of the Antalya Gulf. Covering a distance of 151.9 kilometers, this inter-city coastal journey transitions from high-end hospitality to a tranquil national park environment.
Choosing a dedicated private transfer eliminates the complexity of connecting multiple regional buses or navigating taxis across provincial highways. Cealio delivers confirmed fares, executive vehicles, and professional chauffeurs dedicated to a reliable, direct door-to-door service.
Departing from Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection
Situated along Özal Caddesi in Side, Acanthus Cennet Barut Collection is a 5-star beachfront resort in the Manavgat district. Known for its ultra-all-inclusive accommodations, swim-up suites, and direct access to sandy beaches, the property serves as a major hub on Side's western resort strip.
When your scheduled transfer time arrives, your chauffeur picks you up directly at the resort's dedicated vehicle entrance and drop-off canopy. Passengers departing Side benefit from easy access onto the main highway, situated near historical sites such as the Side Antique Port, the Side Museum, and the ancient Temple of Apollo and Athena.
Arriving at Olimpos Plajı
Located in the Ulupınar area of Kemer, Olimpos Plajı sits within the Beydağları Coastal National Park. Nestled between steep pine-forested mountains and the sprawling ruins of ancient Olympos, this pebble-and-sand bay remains undeveloped to protect native wildlife, including Caretta Caretta sea turtles.
Due to strict environmental preservation and archaeological regulations, direct vehicle access onto Olimpos Plajı is prohibited. Your chauffeur will safely deliver you to the valley's designated vehicle drop-off area, local guest house, or the entrance gate to the Olympos Ancient City. From the entry point, a pleasant walk through the shaded ancient ruins brings you straight to the shore.
