Çıralı is a very small rural village located just over an hour's drive southwest from Antalya. It has a 3.5 km secluded beach. The ancient ruins of Olympos are located at the far end of its coast. A short hike up the hill is required to reach the flames of the Chimaera.[1] Tucked away on Turkey's stunning Mediterranean coastline, Cirali is renowned for its lush natural surroundings. Imagine waking up to the chirping of birds, taking a stroll amidst the citrus orchards, or hiking through the pine forests. It's not only a paradise for eco-tourism enthusiasts but also a haven for those who seek relaxation and peace. The beach at Cirali is another of its treasures. The crystal-clear water is ideal for swimming, while the long, pristine stretch of sand is perfect for sunbathing. Its beach is a major nesting site for Caretta Caretta turtles, making it an exciting spot for wildlife enthusiasts as well.[2]
