Create an itinerary including Cirali Beach
Secluded Cirali Beach remains free of high-rise developments and big crowds largely thanks to its status as a protected area. Home to a population of endangered loggerhead turtles, which swim ashore to lay their eggs in the sand, the beach offers a 3 km (1.8 mi) stretch of pristine Mediterranean coastline. This area offers few modern facilities, but you can find several simple but cozy restaurants and inns at the nearby village of Cirali. Spend some time watching the turtles and swimming, and then consider exploring the area's ancient Lycian ruins. To visit Cirali Beach and get the most from your holiday in Olympos, create itinerary details personal to you using our Olympos trip tool.

  • Çirali Beach is probably the better spot to see the sunrise over the ocean in winter because at Olimpos Beach the beautiful coastal mountains may obscure the sunrise, although directly after sunrise this again offers good backdrop. Both beaches are very secluded due to the off-the-beaten track location of Çirali. There are also deck chairs and umbrellas at both beaches that seemed to be free to use.
  • Beautiful beach with mountous back drop, late September great time to visit as its out of season and very quiet.
  • one of the most beautiful beaches
  • One of the few sand beaches I've come across and not crowded at all.
  • You can put a tent on the beach if you don’t mind ships parked nearby. Note that you are not allowed to set up a tent in savanna area as it’s a National park. The savanna is amazing and so unique for this region of Turkey! Perfect for photoshoots and theme activities.
