Departing from Alarcha Hotels & Resorts

When departing for Olimpos Plajı, your driver meets you directly at the hotel entrance or main reception area, handles your luggage, and ensures a punctual departure.
Arriving at Olimpos Plajı
Olimpos Plajı (Olimpos Beach) is situated in the Ulupınar district of Kemer, set within the protected boundaries of Beydağları Coastal National Park. Framed by pine forests and mountain slopes, the bay is renowned for its clear waters, pebble shoreline, and immediate proximity to the ruins of ancient Olympos. It is also an important protected nesting habitat for Caretta Caretta (loggerhead) sea turtles.
To safeguard cultural heritage and the natural environment, direct motor vehicle access onto the beach is prohibited. Transfer drivers drop passengers off at designated parking areas or valley accommodation sites near the entry path to the ancient city and shore.
