Welcome To Cirali
The Hidden Paradise
Best Beaches in the World
You’ll find no banana boats or disco bars at Cirali, just a perfect two-mile beach lapped by clear blue water, and walking trails that will take you into the drama of the surrounding coastal mountains.
Visit this Wonder
It is a very small rural village located just over an hours drive southwest from Antalya and boasts a beautiful 3.5 km secluded beach, the ruins of Olympos, the flames of the Chimaera / Yanartas, as well as being a protected area by the WWF for the nesting of the Caretta Caretta or also known as the Loggerhead Sea Turtles.
The Lykian Way
For the intrepid trekkers highlights of the Lycian Way with hidden paths are also found in Cirali. One from Cirali to Tekirova ( 19kms ) and another travels from Cirali to Ulupinar and then back down to the flames of the Chimaera which is around 12 kms. All these trails and paths are clearly marked in Red and White.
Nature and History Together
Far from the package-holiday hordes, Turkey has dozens of pristine beaches, among the finest of which is Cirali, a long stretch of fine white sand at the mouth of a towering canyon. The beach, an easy walk from the ruined city of Olympos, is a protected nesting ground for loggerhead turtles. After dark, lights on the shore are extinguished so as not to confuse the hatching babies. On a moonless night, the view of the Milky Way is phenomenal
