Why Visit Olympos and Cirali?
If you’re craving peace, authenticity, and nature far from resort crowds, look no further than Olympos and Cirali—two charming coastal villages nestled between mountains and sea, just 80 km southwest of Antalya.
Known for their laid-back vibes, treehouse lodges, turtle-nesting beaches, and ancient Lycian ruins, these destinations are ideal for those seeking eco-tourism, romantic escapes, or slow travel experiences.
While both villages are adjacent, Olympos attracts adventurous backpackers and history lovers, while Cirali appeals to families and couples looking for quiet beach stays.
