Here is the info regarding the walks in and around Cirali along the Lycian way..as you can see there is so many and much to do that actually one night in Cirali does not gicve you any time to attempt many of these walks..many walkers that spend at least a week or longer and the best walking time is March / April - end of May..and then mid Sept - Novemeber.
Ulupinar-Chimaera(Yanartaş)-Cirali: 3 hours. The walkstarts from the village of Ulupınar. Have your transportation to the beginning of the walk arranged. The village of Ulupınar has many restaurants located on waterfalls. They serve fish and other traditional Turkish dishes. If you have lunch there after, you descend to a valley, then climb up to the Chimera and down to Cirali . On this hike, you will also see a smaller group of flames at a higher altitude than the Chimera. It is relatively easy since it involves very little climbing. If you walk down from theUlupinar village to Cirali using the Lycian Way path ( begins at Havuz Başi restaurant ) it is about 12 kms. And it ends up at the Chimaera.
Cirali-Chimaera--Ulupinar-Cirali: 5-6 hours. Starts in Cirali. On the way to the village of Ulupinar on the main road from Antalya, you will pass through Chimaera, pine forests and follow a stream with many watersfalls. This walk can be classified as medium difficult.
Cirali-Olympos-Adrasan-Cirali: 8 hours. This is the longest hike, and you should be fairly fit since it involves considerable climbing up and down the Mount Musa. It starts from the antique city of Olympos located by the beach in Cirali . After a 4-hour climb through the woods with spectacular scenery on all sides, take food and water supplies. Once in Adrasan you can take a taxi back to Cirali or a dolmus back to Olympos and then continue to walk from there back to Cirali.
Cirali-Maden Beach-Tekirova: 7-8 hours. It starts at the far end of the beach near the football field. You see the signs to Tekirova/Lycian way on the right. The path is well-marked. The hike will take you along the shoreline, up hillsides and down to beaches for about 3 to 4 hours until you reach the Maden Beach. Maden is mineral in Turkish. There were chromium mines in the old days. You still see many old mine shafts and buildings. At that point, you may retrace your steps back to Cirali or go on to Tekirova (a major touristic area), another 3 to 4 hours. In Tekirova, you can take a mini-bus (dolmus) back to the Cirali junction on the mai n highway and then from there the mini-buses back into Cirali.
Highland of Beycik-Peak of Mount Tahtali: 5-6 hours. The hike is not done during the winter months when there is snow on Mount Tahtali (January to March), the highest mountain in the region. Arrange for private transportation to the highland of Beycik and start the climb there. The most challenging of all the hikes with the most spectacular scenery of the region and the sea. Recently a restaurant/cafe has been built at the peak and there is an aerial cable car which will take you down to the main road. It is truly a breath taking ride! Once on the main road, you can either take a taxi which would have to be prearranged or use public transportation back to Cirali.
Yaylalar (Highlands): Not far from Cirali are several highlands at altitudes of more than one thousand meters. You can hike to a number of them from Cirali and arrange for transportation to take you back to Cirali. On these hi g hlands you will observe traditional nomadic living as well as now almost extinct cedar trees.
Such hiking/ walking trips are a great opportunity for photography: you can take beautiful shots of spring wildflowers from February to April. Also you can spend hours collecting wild mushrooms in November and December however you need to know which ones are poisonous and the ones that are edible. You can make many of the walks by yourselves however some walks require guides.
there is also guide available for small or individual groups
