The hike ends in the picturesque seaside town of Çıralı, where a pristine beach awaits you for some well-deserved relaxation.

Day 2
Today’s hike is an out-and-back route from the hotel, allowing you to start whenever you’re ready.
The 9 km trail follows a scenic coastal path from Çıralı to a beach on the way to Tekirova, passing through a pine forest with stunning sea views and secluded beaches along the way.
You’re free to hike as much or as little as you prefer. If you need a break, feel free to skip the hike entirely and take the day to rest and recover from the previous days’ hikes.
That wraps up your tour! We hope you had a wonderful time exploring. You can take local bus from Çıralı to Antalya or private transportation can be arranged.
