The pine-shaded, ruin-strewn
valley of Olimpos,
80 km (50 miles) southwest of Antalya, leads
to this pristine Mediterranean cove
beach of fine-to-coarse limestone
and marble pebbles protected
by a headland from western winds.
Backpackers,
who stay at Kadir's Tree
House and the inexpensive
pensions just inland, can walk
to this cove or to the broader,
sunnier beach to the east by
the pretty Olimpos Lodge inn.
