The route

The car goes around Antalya and west on the D400 past Kemer and Tekirova. At the Ulupınar junction it leaves the main road and winds down a narrow valley road to the coast; the last 10 km take longer than they look.

Where the hotels are

Çıralı is a village of pensions and small hotels spread among orange groves behind the beach; Olympos is the valley of tree-house camps by the ruins. They are reached by different side roads, so tell the driver which.

Tips for this transfer

Many pensions in Çıralı offer pick-up from the main road junction if you come by intercity bus. At night the valley road is unlit; drivers take it slowly. Adrasan, the next bay south, adds about 20 minutes.
