Alicra Hotel Cirali

We spent New Year’s Eve 2026 at Alicra and had a lovely time. The receptionist was kind and suggested moving from our standard room to a detached house. Breakfast was good, with tasty jams, tea, and filter coffee. Oranges and lemons growing around the grounds added to the atmosphere, and we did yoga, exercised, and had lunch on our balcony. The cats followed us everywhere. Our favorites were the red-haired, caramel-eyed family, a chubby dad and his son and daughter. We even joked about stealing one. We had a great two-hour walk to Chimera’s eternal fires, though the route includes a kilometer of forest road with a 250-meter climb. For dinner, Azur & Aida served us grilled octopus and local salads, and there was complimentary hot wine by the fires outside. We’re thinking of coming back for a break from Antalya’s crowded, noisy city.

We slept really well in the comfortable beds, and breakfast was a treat, with plenty of dishes and jams made from fruit from the hotel orchard. The owners were warm and helpful, and the garden is lovely. A fantastic place to stay.

The grounds are pretty and restful, and our unit was spacious, comfortable, and clean. It’s also an easy walk to the magnificent beach, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. Harnup Coffee is about five minutes away and made the best flat white we had in Turkiye. The Olympias ruins are close by, and Chimera’s fire rocks are a 15-minute drive to the start of the sunset walk. Everyone at Alicra Hotel was welcoming, especially Kivach. I had a booking mishap and the Manager sorted it out gracefully. We were very glad we chose this hotel and highly recommend it. It’s open through Winter 2025-2026 too.

The setting is stunning, with lovely gardens and mountain views in an unspoilt spot near the sea. We stayed a week, balancing work with time to relax. The family who run Alicra are so friendly and really make an effort. Remzi and head chef Kvanch even arranged a special tailored meal for a family member’s birthday, which we’ll remember for a long time. They were happy to help with any request. If you’re into nature and want to be close to the sea, this is a great place.
