Olympos: Ancient City Meets Bohemian Paradise
Olympos is an ancient Lycian city and modern bohemian retreat located 85 kilometers from Antalya Airport, approximately 75 minutes by road. The area is famous for its unique accommodation style called "tree houses" (wooden bungalows in orange groves), ancient ruins scattered along the valley, and a pristine beach where the Olympos stream meets the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient city dates back to the 2nd century BC and features a Roman theater, Byzantine church ruins, and a necropolis.
Olympos attracts backpackers, adventure travelers, and cultural tourists seeking authentic experiences. The area offers rock climbing on limestone cliffs, hiking trails through pine forests, and access to the famous Chimaera (Yanartaş) eternal flames. Olympos beach is one of Turkey's most important sea turtle nesting sites (Caretta caretta), making it a protected area with limited development. Transfer from Antalya Airport to Olympos costs €85 and takes approximately 75 minutes.
Çıralı: Pristine Beach & Eternal Flames
Çıralı is a peaceful beach village located adjacent to Olympos, sharing the same protected coastline. Çıralı offers a more developed infrastructure compared to Olympos, with family-run pensions, boutique hotels, and organic restaurants. The village features a 3.5-kilometer-long pebble beach backed by orange and pomegranate groves, creating a stunning natural setting. Çıralı maintains strict building regulations to protect the sea turtle nesting sites, resulting in low-rise, eco-friendly development.
The area is famous for the Chimaera (Yanartaş), natural gas flames that have been burning continuously for thousands of years on the mountainside above Çıralı. According to Greek mythology, these flames mark the location where the hero Bellerophon slayed the fire-breathing monster Chimaera. The flames are accessible via a 30-minute uphill walk and are particularly impressive at night. Çıralı also serves as the starting point for the Lycian Way, Turkey's most famous long-distance hiking trail.
Olympos-Çıralı: One Destination, Two Characters
While Olympos and Çıralı share the same beach and are only 2 kilometers apart, they offer different atmospheres. Olympos appeals to younger travelers and backpackers with its tree house accommodations, social atmosphere, and budget-friendly options. Çıralı attracts families, couples, and eco-conscious travelers seeking quiet relaxation in boutique accommodations. Both areas share access to the ancient ruins, Chimaera flames, and the protected beach. Transfer from Antalya Airport costs €85 for both destinations, with the journey taking approximately 75 minutes.

Why Olympos-Çıralı is Special
The Olympos-Çıralı region offers experiences found nowhere else in Turkey. The combination of ancient Lycian ruins, eternal flames burning for millennia, protected sea turtle nesting beaches, and the dramatic backdrop of Mount Olympos creates a magical atmosphere. The area remains largely undeveloped due to strict environmental protections, offering authentic Turkish village life. Visitors can hike the Lycian Way, explore ancient cities, swim in crystal-clear waters, watch sea turtles nest (June-September), and witness the mythical Chimaera flames at night.
