Antalya Airport → Çıralı Transfer

Çıralı is a long beach of pebble and coarse sand with orange groves behind it, a scattering of small pensions, and very little else — no hotel strip, no promenade. Loggerhead turtles nest on the sand through the summer, and above the village the Chimaera flames burn out of the bare rock at Yanartaş, a phenomenon written about since antiquity. Olimpos lies at the far end of the same beach. Anyone booking an Antalya Airport transfer to Çıralı, 95 km down the coast, is generally here for quiet: swimming, reading and early nights.

Count on roughly 80 minutes. The first half is the familiar Kemer coast road; beyond Tekirova it climbs inland through pine forest towards Ulupınar, where spring water feeds the trout restaurants beside the road. The Çıralı turning then drops to sea level through a run of bends, about seven kilometres that take longer than the distance suggests. In the village the lanes are narrow, partly unpaved and deliberately dark in nesting season, so a late arrival goes slowly and it helps if the pension knows roughly when you are due.
