To say this was a great stay would be an understatement. This property is beautiful, well cared for, and very conveniently located. It's a few minutes walk away from a private beach entrance with seating provided by the hotel, great restaurants, a travel agency with bikes and excellent tours, and several markets. It was an easy bike ride away from the national park and the weekly market. We found the breakfast to be delicious and fresh every morning with a good variety of fruits, veggies, and hot items. The pool is small, but always clean with a comfortable, relaxing seating area.
Things to know: The proprietor speaks very good Russian and Turkish, but no English. If you're not a Turkish or Russian speaker, you will need to have a translation app. There are also power issues with the bungalows. You'll have some flickering lights, and the fridge may sometimes struggle to stay on. However, we didn't find this to be a serious problem. We cooked often and kept ice cream and water in the freezer and had no real issues.
Despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate well and the hotel manager helped us get to the bus station, which is pretty far out of the way. It was a huge help to us!!! We loved our stay in Çıralı, and we plan to be back in the future. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
