Beach description
The sandy and pebble beach of Cirali is immersed in a fabulously beautiful landscape, in which a mountain element predominates. The water in the bay is clear, but snorkeling and diving amateurs need to bring the necessary equipment with them. Nevertheless, the infrastructure in Cirali is quite well developed - some hotels install sunbeds and umbrellas for their guests on the beach. There are also restaurants with interesting designs, hammocks and picnic spots. Pleasure yachts regularly sail in the summer months - from here to show tourists all the beauties of the Mediterranean Sea.
The highlight of these places is the blazing Mount Chimaera. According to legend, the flame above it from ancient times serves as a guide for sailors. Fiery light reaches a maximum height of 50 centimeters, and it can be seen for 2 kilometers from the sea. It is best to enjoy the lights of the Chimaera at night. When going on a trip, do not forget to bring a flashlight with you - the approaches to the mountain are stony and not lit.
