Phaselis is an amazing place where history harmoniously combines with natural beauty. It is a small ancient open-air museum city located in a picturesque bay of the Mediterranean Sea. It is very easy to get to it even without excursions – we took a minibus from Tekirova.
We were at the end of May 2024, the water in the bay is already very warm, so be sure to take swimsuits. We recommend that you come on a weekday, as it can be crowded on weekends, especially due to the influx of locals. There are traffic jams at the entrance. Therefore, it is worth considering that sometimes minibuses do not reach the entrance / exit, and you have to walk to a place where you can catch them.
The impressions of Phaselis are the most pleasant: clean air, stunning views, ancient atmosphere and the opportunity to combine cultural holidays with beach holidays. We definitely recommend you to visit!
It is definitely worth visiting Phaselis. Even if you are not a fan of ruins, it is still worth coming here. The nature is very beautiful here.
In addition, you can come here for a whole day for a beach holiday. Not far from the ruins there are bays where yachts with tourists (including from Kemer) sail. In Phaselis they make a stop for swimming.
And the locals come here in cars with folding tables and chairs and spend the whole day.
And if you like active recreation, then you will have the opportunity to walk along the Lycian trail along the coast. Sometimes the trail rises to a decent height and you find yourself on observation decks with stunning views. Beautiful music can be heard from the yachts somewhere, and the indescribable smell of pine trees is in the air. Incredible atmosphere!
Entrance to the Phaselis costs 10 euros. You can also pay in lira. There is a cafe trailer and free toilets on the territory of the ancient city. How to get there on your own from Kemer, detailed info will be in the tg channel @letaemsami
There are wonderful beaches here. There are three of them. They are especially popular with locals. They come in cars with their families.
What's the beauty of it. The sea + pine trees, under the shadow of which the people settle down. It is shallow, so the sea warms up well. There is sand on one of the beaches, which is rare for Kemer. On others, you can swim with views of the ancient city. The beaches are unequipped, but there is a toilet in the parking lot.
You can get from Kemer by Dolmush. The entrance, as we wrote earlier, is not cheap
We bought tickets for the first time. The second, deciding that we were interested only in the beach, walked along the Lycian trail "savage".
