for millions of years, the sea turtles have returned to the beach of Çirali; to lay their eggs at night. The beach, located in the Olympos National Park, is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Turkey.
The beach of Çirali in the Olympos National Park, is one of the most important nature reserves for the Caretta Caretta sea turtle. As the sea turtle population has declined dramatically in the past, it was placed under protection as an endangered species. Nature reserves such as Çirali are therefore vital to their conservation.
