Çıralı Koyu Must-Sees

Çıralı Koyu blends the ruins of the ancient Lycian city of Olympos with a three-kilometer coastline protected for Caretta caretta sea turtle nesting. The area features a mix of Roman and Byzantine remains, including a necropolis, a monumental sarcophagus, and a bathhouse, all set within a lush river valley. Accessible via the pebble beaches of Olympos and Çıralı, the site preserves architectural traces ranging from Genoese fortifications to intricate floor mosaics.
