Because Olympos's entire economy is based around tourism (There are only bars, restaurants and pansyons), more than likely, your ride will not be going to Olympos, but to or from Antalya. (We wrote Antalya on our sign as it was apparent that a lot of locals do not know exactly where Olympos was -- [[User:Alecofnz|Alecofnz]]).
→Hitching In
===Hitching In===
Get dropped at the top of the road to Olympos. From there, it's an 11km hike down the hill (and is quite dangerous as the road is very thin in a lot of places). The best place to thumb a ride is about 200m down the hill from the bus station; there is a large shoulder on the side of the road where cars coming down will see you and have room to pull over.
Another option is to try and hitch into [[Çıralı]], as that's a town not consisting of solely tourists. From there you can walk 500m on the beach and you're down at the ancient Olympos site. The road to [[Çıralı]] goes off the Fethiye-Antalya 'highway' a bit further direction Antalya. Expect few traffic, but [[User:Micha]] has proven it's hitchability with 3 friends.
