Misty morning atmosphere on Mount Olympus Turkey

A Decade of Family Adventures

Born on the Mountain,
Built for Families

OlympusTrails was founded in 2014 by a group of certified mountain guides and outdoor educators who shared one belief: that the best family holidays happen in nature, not in theme parks.

We are based in Antalya, Turkey, with operations running year-round within the protected grounds of Olympos Beydağları National Park. Our team is entirely local — we know every trail, every wildflower, every hidden viewpoint on this mountain.

Over the past decade, we have guided more than 4,800 families from across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Every tour is run with a maximum of 12 participants to ensure personal attention and a genuinely memorable experience for each guest.

What Guides Everything We Do

Four core values that shape every tour, every interaction and every decision at OlympusTrails.

Safety First

Every guide holds mountain rescue and first aid certification. We carry full emergency equipment on all tours.

Family-Centred

Tours are paced for families, not competitive hikers. No child gets left behind — we celebrate every step together.

Local Expertise

Our guides grew up in Antalya and have explored Olympus for decades. Their knowledge transforms a walk into a story.

Responsible Tourism

We operate in full compliance with national park regulations and follow leave-no-trace principles on every trail.

Our Expert Mountain Guides

Certified professionals who love what they do — sharing the mountain with curious families every single day.
