Surroundings and Activities
The
most striking element in Cirali is Cirali Beach. sometimes known
as Olympus Beach. Surrounded by glorious mountains, blessed with
crystal clear waters and so large it never feels crowded even in
peak season. The beach is under protection as it is a nesting ground
for sea turtles. As such, you will not find any banana boats or
paragliders anywhere in sight. Heaven! Click

Save the Turtles Campaign
Journey Anatolia
will donate £5 from your booking to the Ulupinar Conservation
Coop who protect and monitor the activities of sea turtles. Olympos
beach is a popular nesting site for the species known as Caretta
Caretta. Protecting them may also save the area from major development.
There are few places left in Turkey, perhaps the whole mediterranean,
that are as undeveloped and as beautiful as Cirali Beach. Right.
