Cirali Beach

Cirali Beach's calm setting is difficult to realize is only an hour's drive from Antalya. It's tucked away in the heart of the Taurus Mountains and feels like it's in the middle of nowhere.

This unspoiled shingle beach is a must-see for history historians and nature lovers alike. The majestic remains of Olympos may be found on one end of the beach, while the eternal flames of Chimaera can be found on the other. The endangered loggerhead turtles return to nest in a WWF-protected conservation area on the sandy stretch between these two landmark spots.

Visitors will enjoy the crystal-clear waters as well as having plenty of room to themselves. Cirali isn't the easiest location to find unless you already know where it is, but that means it's rarely crowded. Because it is a protected area, development is limited. There are no loud beach bars or water activities (with the exception of sea kayaks) - just a few eateries, sun loungers, and a picnic area.
