Things to do in Olympos
1. Chill House Lounge

The Chill House is really close to the beach. In the evening you can see the sun go down, illuminating one of the Mountains by the sea which looks really nice. The music is really nice and chilled.
Food is good, the prices are totally fair. Service is ok, waiters could be a bit nicer, but it was still ok!

Having had pretty much average food in a number of Cirali restaurants we found this restaurant ,just off the beaten track and behind the beach .Hopes were higher because at least it had a proper wooden floor.
We chose two mezze but fried courgette was cold and limp served by a pretty miserable waiter.
The flat bread was excellent but the fillet steaks?? ordered, although not expensive, were tasteless. The accompanying tomato and rice and...one chip!! very bland.
My wife also doubted the alcoholic content of her mojito.
Dissapointing

The Arikanda River Garden Restaurant is the restaurant attached to the hotel of the same name, located on the river at Adrasan Bay. We concluded that it's probably the best of the restaurants along this river after trying a number of them during our stay.
The situation of the restaurant is lovely, on top of decking that is over the river, surrounded by lots of greenery and visited by a lot of ducks. The staff are incredibly friendly and seem well organised and attentive during meal times.
The food is Turkish with a bit of European choices thrown in; particularly memorable was the Adana kebab and also the ali nazik kebab, but I suspect anything you order will be good. The mezze platter is also really nice. The portions are large, so be aware that it's easy to over order.
The prices seemed slightly higher than some of the other restaurants along the river in Adrasan, but this is matched by the quality of both the food and service.
Overall- highly recommended.

I have come to the conclusion that you cannot get a "nice" meal in the centre of Çirali. It is not that their food, or service or position is poor, just that it is nothing more or less than any of their neighbouring restaurants offer. They all, more or less, offer the same menu. Nothing special, the same list day after day (indeed, year after year) and served with chips whether you want them or not. Here the menu displays pictures of the promised fare which is something you may or may not like. They make an effort to be a little nicer than others with linen table cloths but to protect them, cover them with a thick plastic sheet which is remarkably unpleasant to the touch. Cutlery and tableware is nice quality too but the food tastes just the same as it would 20 yards to the left or right.
If you want to eat in the centre then Lemon Restaurant is as good as any. I would, however, recommend walking through to the beachfront restaurants for a better range of menus, lovely views and little difference in cost.

Popped in for a light lunch of Pide and salad. All lovely but what really made this place a bit special was the man baking the bread in the wood fired oven - some sort of genius, who turned out huge puffy, crispy foot-long flatbreads. You get them once you order and they were almost worth the cost of lunch alone.
They have sun loungers in front too which are free if you're staying at the hotel and probably also free if you buy drinks or food too.

This restaurant is on the beach and looks fantastic. The food was mediocre but the service was nothing short of disgusting. Our waiter took our order and then completely ignored us. He forgot our drinks and we had to ask three times for our bill . They were not busy so there was no excuse.
The final straw was that he muttered something in Turkish as we left which quite obviously was an insult to us. We did not deserve this treatment as we were polite and quiet and did not complain at all. Will never go there again.

The restaurant is in a river valley at Ulupinar. Open air tables are set amongst. the trees and alongside the river, with abundant waterfowl. It is a delightful peaceful setting. Service is rapid and friendly.Fresh baked bread is served with three sauces, followed by a mixed salad. There is a choice of main course.,..chicken meatballs, vegetarian, and best of all FRESH BAKED TROUT. The later was cooked to perfection....succulent and flavoursome, simply served with a slice of lemon and grilled tomato,....absolutely delicious..but they do have their own trout farms. The dessert was a plate of pomegranate seeds.

Not a bad place, with a typical, semi-fast food collection of mezes, ready-made Turkish standards and various pides, but there is nothing much to recommend it either, the food is of average quality for a country of a very high gastronomic standard even in simple establishments like Turkey, and there are a few much better authentic Turkish places close by, especially up on the main road and in Ulupinar.

We stayed for one week in Cirali at VillaIz but we spent every day at the beach in front of Dione bar restaurant. Bulan was a fantastic host, making us very welcome and serving us coffee, beer and fantastic Cumru toasted sandwiches every day. We had three lovely evening meals there too.
Bulan was also very attentive to our every need, and he loved our dog, Lucy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Thanks for a lovely time.

On our regular trips to Çıralı we always spend our days, and evenings, enjoying the hospitality of Orange Restaurant.
During the day they serve food all day (fish, salads, kofte, pizza etc) and in return offer free use of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, 20 metres away. At nights they cook the catch of the day, as well as offering a choice of grilled meat. The meze are prepared fresh daily, using local ingredients. We always make sure to have the şakşuka (eggplant, potato and tomato and more) and also the delicious potato croquettes. The nights are glorious, under the stars with sand between your toes.
