Insect Bites and Sunburn in Olympos-Cirali: What to Know Locally
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. Open water, strong sun and exposed trails raise the risk, and sea urchins and jellyfish are frequent around rocks. Wear water shoes.
Travel Guide to Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.

Use insect repellent at dusk, cover up, apply high-factor sunscreen and reapply it after swimming, and rest in the shade around midday.
