Cirali Beach is a protected natural gem stretching three kilometers near the ruins of ancient Olympos. The beach serves as a vital nesting site for endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles, which is why large-scale hotel development has been banned here. Instead of massive resorts, you'll find only small family-run guesthouses surrounded by orange groves. The beach is covered with smooth pebbles, the water exceptionally clear and clean. A short distance away lie the legendary eternal flames of Chimaera, natural fires that have burned from the rocks for thousands of years.
