My partner and I had originally planned to go to Olympos but while waiting for a bus at the top of the highway, a young Turkish man who worked at a hotel in Cirali offered us to come look at his hotel.

While we did not stay at his hotel we were very grateful for him taking us to Cirali. After some searching we found Sima Peace pension run by an amazingly warm Turkish lady, Aynur.

We paid 25 euro per person for room, breakfast and dinner. Some of the best turkish food I have had yet! The bungalow was smallish but more than enough with ensuite. The best part was being 50 metres to a virtually empty beach and the atmosphere of this quiet village.

We did manange to get over to Olympos (less than 1km walking along the beach) and were so happy to we were in Cirali.

We wish Aynuir all the best for the season and thank her for her hospitality. Big kisses to Efe (the most well-behaved golden lab in the world!!) more
