Çıralı Beach, Mediterranean beach in Kumluca, Turkey
Description
Çıralı Beach is a 4-kilometer stretch of Mediterranean coastline with fine sand, pebbles, and clear blue waters backed by forested mountains. The shoreline remains undeveloped, with only small establishments and natural vegetation shaping its appearance.
History
Ancient Olympos, a significant Roman port city, left substantial ruins at the southern end of the beach with well-preserved structures visible today. The site marks where maritime trade flourished during classical antiquity along this coastline.
Culture
Local restaurants near the beach serve traditional Turkish dishes while maintaining the area's commitment to small-scale, environmentally conscious tourism development.
Practical
The beach has basic facilities with small guesthouses and family-run hotels scattered along the shore, keeping a low-key atmosphere. Visitors should plan for a relaxed pace and bring essentials, as the area avoids large-scale commercial development.
Did you know?
Natural gas seeping from a nearby hillside creates eternal flames called Yanartaş that have burned continuously for thousands of years. This rare geological phenomenon remains visible and active, offering an unusual contrast to the quiet beach setting.
