A line opened in 2017
The Tünektepe Cable Car in Antalya's Konyaaltı district opened in 2017 as a 1,706-meter line to the 605-meter summit of Tünektepe. Its proximity to the city center made it a practical viewpoint for visitors from the day it opened.
The 2024 incident
On 12 April 2024, the facility experienced an accident involving a cabin support tower. This event led to changes in the site's operating status. Anyone planning to visit Antalya and include Tünektepe in their itinerary should keep in mind that this kind of information can go out of date.
Recommendation: check before you go
Since operating status at cable car facilities can change over time, visitors planning a trip to Tünektepe are advised to confirm the current opening/closing information before setting out. The lower station sits in Liman neighborhood, close to the city center.
Other options in the area
Konyaaltı district has more to offer beyond Tünektepe. Antalya Aquarium and Konyaaltı Beach, both close to the city center, count among the stops worth considering as alternatives to the cable car.
