OLYMPOS AND CIRALI
Olympos and its "sister" towns, Cirali and Adrasan, are places different on the Turquoise Coast for their natural charm, ancient remains, low-rise development, and laid-back culture that embraces Turkish students, international backpackers, and European groups. The trio is plus next to some of the best day hikes on the Lycian Way through the Olympos remains, and the beach is the main area displays. All three towns are accessed via a secondary road, parallel to the highway. Olympos has the most personality but can be noisy and crowded in summer and offers limited services. The area above the canyon has better places to stay, but you’ll have a quick drive to the beach. Cirali gives the beach with Olympos and is much quieter, with the best variety of hotels and a more family-friendly environment. Little Adrasan feels like the beach town the world forgot—peaceful and a little scruffy.
