Olympos is an ancient city in Lycia. The location of its remains is in the Kumluca distinct of Antalya province. However, Olympos is far away from Antalya and is near to Kemer. which has a fantastic beach with social activities done on the sea. Coming to entrance cost to Olympos, i would say that you have to take a ticket costing 5 Turkish lira. But, If you have a debit card of Turkish Is Bank, you can enter for free. Visiting hours are from 9 a.m. to 19 p.m.
Transportation to Olympos is a little hard. Because, it is away from the city center and away from the main road between cities. How to go to there includes two options. First is to have your own car. Second is travel agency. I suggest you to use travel agency if you don`t want to stay at least a night in Olympos. Since, they know how to get Olympos easily and what to do after-before and in there.
However, if you prefer to get there by your own car, you have to have a navigation with you to find there. Around Olympos, there are many fantastic hotels and prices look not too bad. After or before Olympos, be advised that you should go to Yanartas or take a sea tour in combination with Kemer tour.
Coming back to visit in ancient city, i would say that walking throughout the city is so gorgeous. The remains have not been damaged but in order to not damage anything of the city`s remains, nothing done. I mean when you walk there, you could get hard with that. Be advised that you take a suitable shoe with you before going Olympos (i think Flip-flop or slipper is the best because you can walk in river going inside of Olympus and after Olympus, you can go for swimming in the sea nearby)
The photo on the left side shows the river going inside of Olympos. Even though there is a road too, i advise you to take this river road.
In Olympos, there are many remains ranging from Church to the first street of the world. I won`t put every photo i took there. Yet, here are some photos of Olympus:

Olympos has a brilliant coast. I strongly advise that any tourist visiting there should take his swimsuit with himself. After walking thought ancient city, you can get relax by swimming on the sea. But, the problem is after swimming, you may not have a shower. (the sea is salty)
