Places to see in Cirali

If you are tired of the noise of crowded metropolitan cities and want a quiet vacation, you have made the right choice by choosing Çıralı. Run to the lap of the sea for a vacation alone with nature. You can either lie on your hammock on the beach for hours and read your book while feeling the sun inside you or reach the warm waters of the Mediterranean in the nearby bays. There are many boat tours on different routes in Çıralı.

The first alternative we recommend: Cennet Bay-Porto Genoese-Sazak-Coban Harbor tour. The second alternative is: Three Islands-Phaselis-Kleopatra tour. In addition to these, Kaleköy Peninsula tour, known as the old Simena, is also among your options. Rent a canoe from Çıralı Beach and paddle towards Ceneviz Bay, you will discover different bays on your own and enjoy swimming there.   

You can take a historical stroll on the Old Lycian Way, Turkey's first long-distance walking route, on your bike or on foot. You can choose the route of your choice when planning your hike: 3.5 hours Ulupınar - Yanartaş, 7 hours Musa Mountain or 8 hours Adrasan - Gelidonya Lighthouse, 6 hours Göynük Valley, 8 hours Tahtalı Mountain Pass, 5-6 hours Gedelme-Yayla Kuzdere. Don't miss the Lycian Way and the ruins of ancient cities along the way.

If you think that a little movement would be good in this vacation alone with nature, you can descend the waterfalls in the canyon with ropes, jump into the pools or participate in a wide variety of fun and exciting activities from climbing to swimming. You can make a safari with ATVs on the foothills of Beydağları.   

One of the places you should not miss is Ulupınar Village. It is a settlement established 3 km before the Çıralı road junction on the way from Antalya to Kumluca. You will love the smell of pine trees coming from the Taurus Mountains and the sound of water. Many fish farms established in this village are among the little surprises waiting for you. While you are here, do not return without enjoying the fish in the cozy fish restaurants by the creek, which is ice-cold even in the middle of summer, eating the most beautifully cooked meats, and tasting the options that suit your taste.   

In the evening, take your drink and go to Yanartaş and enjoy the sunset.
At the last minute, take a last minute detour to Karaöz, seven kilometers from Adrasan, Olympos' neighbor, and visit the Gelidonya Lighthouse.
