Çıralı Sahili — Attraction in Kemer

This is one very special place, the whole 3km beach which makes up Olympos and Çıralı beaches is beautiful. Not at all built up and even in peak season there is plenty of space. The mountains make a stunning backdrop, sea is warm and clear (in August) and the low rise restaurants behind make everything very convenient. As you move further down the beach away from Cerali town it becomes even less busy, but there are still local restaurants, some front the beach and more on the road behind. Earlier reviews mention some plastic in the water - we did experience this but it is minor in comparison with many other beaches around the Mediterranean (the whole world in fact) and is being washed in from afar, the beach itself is very clean. Boat trips leave from three designated location down the beach if you wish to explore further along the coast. At nightime (9pm to 5.30am) in the summer months the beach is officially closed to humans to allow turtles to lay their eggs, when these hatch you can watch the volunteers dig out and count the hatchlings - if your prepared to get up...

A unique beach at Antalya, which is under protection due to caretta sea turtles' spawning area. In summer time remind that human beings and turtles share the beach based on time. At night, mother turtles come to leave their eggs between June to July and baby turtles hatch their eggs between August to September. These all happen at night times so beach is closed to human beings in that periods of year. In day time, you are free to enjoy the beach and swim, butyou have to be responsible to the nature around you, not leaving any trace...

Beautiful waters where you can see thousands of pieces of plastic at the top. Plastic bags popping up to the surface and touching you from time to time. Cigarette buts in everywhere in the beach. Looks like people don’t take care of the place and it’s just sad to be here.

Been to enough beaches to say this is the most...
