About Live Cam "Panorama from Tahtalidag Mountain (Olympos)" in Kemer

Takhtalydag (Olympos) - a mountain near Kemer in the Western Taurus mountain system. Height above sea level - 2365 m. The name Tahtali means “plank”, “with boards” in Turkish. The mountain dominates the landscape around Kemer. Between Antalya and Finibahce, it can be seen as the dominant peak of the Beidaglari mountain range. The proximity to the Mediterranean coast makes it visible to sailors. It is the highest mountain in the Olympos-Beidaglar Park. From November to June, the mountain is covered with ice and snow. In the spring, this snow is often painted in a reddish tint by the Sahara winds, and in summer, due to clouds that obscure the mountain, this is not often seen. Vegetation disappears from a height of about 1900 meters. The cable car to the top of Tahtalı, Olympos Teleferik, was commissioned in June 2007. Also on the mountain Tahtali make ascents.
