CİRALİ:
Çıralı is an agricultural village in the southwest of Turkey in Antalya Province. It is close to ancient ruins of Olympos and Chimaera permanent gas vents.

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 / Yanartaş, as well as being a protected area by the WWF for the nesting of the Caretta or also known as the Loggerhead Sea Turtles.

Also nearby to Çıralı is the Ulupınar region, which is rich in rivers and creeks. Cirali / Çıralı is one of the last unspoilt natural areas along the Antalya coastline.

For the intrepid trekkers highlights of the Lycian Way with hidden paths are also found in Çıralı. One from Çıralı to Tekirova ( 19 km ) and another travels from Çıralı to Ulupınar and then back down to the flames of the Chimaera which is around 12 km. All these trails and paths are clearly marked in Red and White.

Another wonderful section of the Lycian Way ( Likya Yolu ) near to Çıralı is to the summit of Tahtalı Dag or as also know as Mt. Olympos . Located in the National Park of Olympos or Olimpos Bey Dağları Parkı.

There are no large hotels but numerous small places with accommodation, e.g., family run pensions.

Although close to Olympos it is not possible to drive between the road of Çıralı and the road to Olympos since they are separated by the beach and the ruins of Olympos.

Lovely composition, Sea, with the hilside following a diagonal of the frame. The vegetation and green colour tones are very good. The mountainscape, in the distance, gives an appreciation of depth, against the soft, blue sky.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
What a wonderfully historic place!

hello Sea

You reached a nice spot to find this POV showing the layers of mountains and the FG covered with vegetation and palms. Such a fine day of blue sky and white clouds for your contrast with the natural landscape.

tfs, bil

Selam H. Ayhan bey,
Antalya Çıralı'dan harika bir manzara.
mavi gökyüzünde bulutlar ve derinlikli dağ sıraları müthiş.
Elinize sağlık.
