Gundogan, formerly known as Farilya, is one of the oldest residential areas on the peninsula. Fishing, olive, and mandarin trading were the area's traditional sources of income and a rich history is hidden in the rocky hillsides surrounding the town.

The Olira Boutique Hotel & Spa is made up of three separate buildings located in a lovely secret garden where the blue sea is framed by lush greenery.

Hotel facilities include a restaurant, bar, private beach, sun deck, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, fitness room, massage room, laundry service, room service and water sports.
