Babadag Cable Car

The Babadag Cable Car takes you from the base of Babadag Mountain to the summit at an altitude of 1,700 meters, making it a convenient and comfortable alternative to hiking. The cable car is modern, safe, and equipped with large windows, ensuring you don’t miss a moment of the breathtaking scenery. The ride itself lasts about 15 minutes, offering a smooth journey with panoramic views of Ölüdeniz, the surrounding forests, and distant mountains. At the top, visitors can enjoy stunning 360-degree views and access the area’s paragliding launch sites, making it a must-see attraction for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.

The Babadag Cable Car operates year-round, though hours of operation can vary depending on the season, so it’s best to check the schedule before your visit. The cable car is a popular activity, especially during peak tourist seasons, so try to go early to avoid long lines. Tickets are available at the base station, and there are different pricing options depending on whether you want to travel to the top or stop at intermediate stations. If you’re visiting during the summer, be prepared for warmer temperatures at the base, but it’s much cooler at the summit, so bringing a light jacket is recommended.

The Babadag Cable Car is located just a short drive from the village of Ölüdeniz, making it easily accessible for visitors. To get there, take a taxi or rent a car for a quick journey up the mountain. If you prefer not to drive, local minibuses or dolmuşes run frequently between Ölüdeniz and the cable car station. Once you arrive at the base, you’ll find clear signage guiding you to the ticket counter and cable car station. The trip up to the cable car station is short, taking just around 10–15 minutes by car from Ölüdeniz.
