Privacy, a clean beach, a clear sea and mountain ranges are what attract sophisticated tourists to this little-known place. What is a resort and how to get to it, we tell in detail in our article.

General information

Ираıralı is a small village located on the southwest coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey. It is located 37 km south of the resort town of Kemer and 81 km from Antalya. The population of the village does not exceed 6000 people. Translated from Turkish, the name ираıralı is interpreted as “flammable”: this name of the village is explained by its proximity to the famous Mount Yanartash, known for its self-igniting lights.

Ираıralı village in Turkey is a secluded place with a couple of narrow streets along which simple village houses huddle. Here you will not find tall buildings, concrete promenade, clubs and expensive restaurants. The village is little known to mass tourism and most often its guests are travelers who independently organize their holidays. This is a corner of Turkey divorced from civilization, which managed to preserve the natural beauty untouched by man, a spacious clean beach and clear sea waters.

Due to the proximity of the village to the main attractions in the region of Kemer, Cirali becomes an ideal resort for those who like to combine a beach holiday with sightseeing activities. Although there is no nightlife industry in the village itself, it can be found in the nearby resort of Olympos.

Restaurants and Shopping

Cıralı in Turkey cannot boast an abundance of various cafes and restaurants. There are several small establishments on the coast where you can try the Turkish cuisine and order drinks.

Beach

The beach in ираıralı in Turkey has a sufficient length of just over 3 km. The coast expands to the north, where its width reaches 100 m. On one side, the beach abuts against a rock, not far from which a fishing village has settled, on the other hand it breaks off at the foot of the Moses Mountain. Here, you will not be disturbed by the merchants and barkers scurrying along the beach, offering a boat ride or a shopping trip.

Covering the coast consists of pebbles and sand, the entry into the sea is rocky and uneven, so swimming here is more convenient in special shoes.

By bus

The second option is much more affordable in price, but it will require the expenditure of certain forces and time.

Otogar

First you need to get from the airport to the central bus station of Antalya (Otogar). You can do this by catching a bus at number 600 or taking the Antrau tram. Once at the station, go inside the suburban bus terminal and go to any ticket office to get a ticket to Чıralı.

It is worth considering that there is no direct minibus to the village, but there is a bus next to Olympos, from which you need to get off at the bend with a sign to Cirali. Therefore, warn the driver in advance that you need to land at the intersection. The fare is $ 4, and the journey takes about an hour and a half.

After disembarking at the turn, you will see a parking lot with dolmushes, which hourly follow to the village itself (from 8:30 to 19:30). The fare is $ 1.5. We do not recommend walking on foot, since it would be very reckless to overcome 7 km with luggage on a steep road. As an alternative, consider a taxi or a ride. This is the way to get to ираıralı, Turkey.
