Introducing Olympos & Çirali
Olympos is a Shangri-la for travellers. Picture fragmentary ruins scattered among wild grapevines, a secluded beach, a steep forested valley, a stream that runs through a rocky gorge and various accommodation options heavy on atmosphere. This fabulous mix - a heart-palpitatingly dramatic setting and an unrivalled ambience - is a rare treat. No wonder many people come here for a couple of days and end up staying for weeks.

Neighbouring Çiralı, 1km to the east, is another gem of a place. While Olympos has a well-established party reputation, Çiralı is the perfect place to experience the fine art of keyif (quiet relaxation).
The drive here is also a treat, strewn with mountain views all the way from Kaş.
