A wonderful atmospheric place!! Magnificent bird's-eye view of the town of Phaselis, spread out on the peninsula below. In fact, I put this fortress on the map in 2010, but it is located at the top of the mountain on the Northern Hill above the city. The walls of the fortress are partially preserved in some places along the edge of the hill. The area of the fortress is about the same as the area of the city that can be viewed. You can enter the territory directly from the intersection with the highway, where the turn to Takhtaly is located. An ordinary city bus for 150 rubles from Kemer is asked to stop at the intersection, cross the road and dive into the passage in the "thorn". Near the highway 400 "beyond the thorn" I found the remains of the foundations of round towers. Inside the fortress there is a palace (marked on the map); a well; a diamond-shaped large pool from which water flowed into the aqueduct; megalithic ruins of the source of the aqueduct; a hidden exit - the secret gate of the fortress (gate). If you walk around the fortress, be very careful: there are a lot of prickly plants (so keep a pair of socks in stock to change clothes), look at your feet so as not to step on anyone, there are few paths here. Be careful, do not go close to the edge of the cliff, it is in the form of a balcony, IT CAN COLLAPSE! After a wonderful photo shoot, there is a quest: we are looking for a descent to the gate - the secret gate of the fortress. At the exit of the gate, there are photos on the stairs and at the giant caves and in them. Then - a careful descent in sneakers (no slippers or flip-flops!!) to the necropolis. On the rocks on the shore of the northern bay, we change or clean socks from thorns. After the photo at the ruins of the aqueduct, we enter the city along the main avenue... After walking around the city and sightseeing, we return along the road to the checkpoint, there is a bus stop, we are waiting for our bus, we just ask: to Kemer or Tekirova? On the way to the checkpoint, we admire the thickets of laurel, making sure that the bay leaf is REAL! At the checkpoint, we smile broadly at the guard and rejoice at the 10 euros saved.

As always, you can take a regular TA08 city bus (150rubles) from the Kemer shopping area directly to the entrance to the park without an excursion.
Since this is a landmark in the city administration, the entrance is ONLY for lira, change it in advance. (although it says that the entrance fee is 10€). The exchange rate is also different than in exchangers, take it with a margin.
I got a 440TL input.
The car is 30€.
You can take a blanket, swimsuits, and food with you. You can swim and relax. To the left of the park are sharp rocks, where there is a bay with yachts and a sandy beach.
Sightseeing tours: Work is underway now, and special equipment is being used. The Turks decided to complete and refine the ancient architecture🙈
The amphitheater has been preserved very well, parts of the Doric order columns, fragments of capitals of different styles. It's interesting, but because of the construction, you start to doubt the originality.

An excellent monument that has not yet been greatly "refined". Walking along the central street, which is perfectly preserved, is pure delight. The large amphitheater is in very good condition. If you live in Rixos Tekirova, walk. You won't regret it, great coves and views along the way, one of the fortresses is completely abandoned along the way. It's very interesting, but keep in mind that one hill will have to be overcome. My children and I, the youngest of whom is 9 years old, had fun.

The most beautiful place that the Turks decided to "patch up"… The same story in Side((.
But it is still possible to touch the real, historical heritage of antiquity. The Greek amphitheater has been preserved in good condition! A wonderful beach with crystal clear water! Just a delight!
The only unpleasant phenomenon is the entrance fee of 30€ per car!

😃 An interesting place! And it's funny - a tourist attraction combined with a favorite picnic spot, even on a weekday there are a lot of Turkish families with tables and food. + there are several tourist yachts in the harbor with music and shouts into the microphone.

The fortress is still under excavation - this has its own atmosphere, since you can walk and discover what is hidden by nature, but also its disadvantage - it is not entirely clear how everything was arranged, where everything was.

Great location, picturesque views. Each photo is a postcard. Very budget friendly. It costs about $10 per person. It's cheaper just for free.
PS: don't be afraid to walk along the trails along the beach. You will certainly find yourself in unforgettable places where 9 out of 10 tourists stupidly do not reach.

It is better to go without an excursion. Calmly walk around, take pictures. I recommend.

You can look at the Greek ruins. Not the best beaches for swimming. And the fare is 60 lire per person. Which is quite expensive for a place that is not equipped with normal toilets and is generally not equipped with either showers or changing rooms. There are also no tents with normal food and affordable prices. So if you are not an archaeologist who is interested in the history of Greek polis, it is unlikely that you will be particularly interested there.
