About this audio guide
This guide to the Olympos Teleferik in Antalya rides the cable car up Tahtalı mountain, tracing what the climb reveals along the way: passing through cloud cover, then the Turquoise Coast opening below from Finike to Side. It points out the buried Lycian city of Olympos in its green valley and the Chimaera's ever-burning flames along the coast, and explains why ancient sailors named this peak for the home of the gods.
