Huge beach, a lot of sand, and nice waves))
October 25
An amazing ancient city located on the coast that combines rich history, magnificent natural landscapes and an atmosphere of tranquility.
One of the main attractions is the well-preserved amphitheater, which impresses with its size and architecture. Here you can feel the spirit of antiquity and imagine how theatrical performances and gatherings once took place.
It is also worth noting the ruins of the temple of Apollo and the ancient stone-lined streets that lead to the sea. Walking along these streets allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature.
In general, Patara is a place where history meets nature. This is an ideal destination for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of modern cities and enjoy the atmosphere of antiquity surrounded by beautiful landscapes.

A magnificent beach, a miracle of nature. Entrance to the area of the ancient city of Patara and the beach area is paid. We arrived and first walked around the Lycian city of Patara. Extensive restoration and restoration of individual buildings of the city has been carried out there and work is still underway. For independent tourists, we recommend taking a look at the pavilion at the entrance, which presents a model of the city of Patara. After you study the layout, the walk will turn out to be more conscious and the layout gives a complete volumetric picture of the majestic city. Near the entrance to the museum there is a shop with souvenirs, ice cream and juices, as well as Parking for cars. After visiting the museum, you can drive to the next parking lot, which is located directly by the beach. It's not far to go, 1-2 minutes, many people walk, there are sidewalks. Parking is free. It remains to walk a little more along the numerous souvenir shops and you are on the beach. The beach is sandy, the sand is fine, grayish-yellowish. Sparsely populated in September. If you move away from the main entrance 500 m, you will find yourself alone). A very smooth entrance to the sea, you have to walk a hundred meters to be deep. I recommend visiting, especially in conjunction with the city museum (the birthplace of St. Nicholas of Myra).

The entrance to the beach plus the surrounding area, where there are archaeological sites, is 15 euros per person. A child of 7 years old was not charged. Very clean, the beach is huge. There is nowhere to hide from the sun, only under an umbrella. You can get from Kasha by minibus, rides according to the schedule every 30-40 minutes from the bus station in Kasha, about an hour. It stops on the highway near Patara, from there a free minibus takes you all the way to Patara, it takes about 10 minutes. Back in the same way, minibuses connect. We got caught in a strong wind once, with gusts. In such weather, it is better not to go, the sand rises into the air. The child was crying that the sand was hurting his legs)

The most vivid impression of the trip!!
Entry for foreigners in July 2024 is 15€ / person, there is a small queue of cars at the entrance, locals can visit cheaper.
You can go to the beach officially, like us, you can try to go for free - to do this, look for information on Google, everything has already been described in detail, but since you need to cross the dunes on foot and there is a bad road at the entrance, we did not risk a rented car.
But we saw people who decided to do it (there are many of them)
You come to the southernmost part of the beach, there is still a small civilization there in the form of a beach with sun beds for rent, and then 18 km of wild beach!
We arrived closer to sunset, it took us 3 hours to enjoy the incredible beach!
My friend and I went 2-3 km away from civilization and it was the right decision - we were able to swim topless, because there were no people with us at all.
The perfect place for privacy to feel alone with nature and enjoy it! Very beautiful!
But be careful, there are no shops or people there, so you need to take water and everything you need with you right away.

The beach is beautiful, the effect of the ocean. It looks a bit like the Curonian Spit. Shallow, you can hang out on the waves or just chill, it's very beautiful. It's mostly always windy here. I've heard that they complain about the service - but this is a unique place, a nature reserve. There is no soap or toilet paper in the toilets (it says not to use soap in the showers, too, on the beach). And they don't put toilet paper, because tourists stupidly throw it into the toilet, creating blockages. They don't read the inscriptions at all.

Insanely cool beach!
Large, clean, equipped)
There is a small cafe (probably - this is the only bottleneck of this location).
Passage / passage to the territory is paid, but it's worth it!
Cool beach, there are waves)
Turtles lay eggs on the beach, and in principle this location is a nature reserve.

The beach is good, but for me the price of 15e per person is too much + you need to take umbrellas and sun beds separately (150lir per piece) a family of 2 adults + 2 children (over 8 years old) 60e for entrance to the beach! In fact, in the blue lagoon in Oludeniz, the entrance per person is now 50 lira (1.5 e), while everything is well maintained, there are all amenities, it is an hour away! In 2024, prices for access to all attractions have been increased significantly! The entrance to this beach before the pandemic cost 1.5 e.

It's a cool location, I visited it as part of a tour along the Lycian trail. 20 km beach, sandy, very, very sparsely populated. A great place for those who like to run alone and just to rest.

One of the biggest beaches in my life, such a space, I didn't have enough squares to drive along it) Check-in to the beach with the historical park cost us 45 euros for a car, two adults and three children. There is something to see. On the beach there are paid sun beds, a cafe, a shower, a toilet. I recommend coming here for at least five hours.

A gorgeous and really unique place!
Excellent sandy entry into the water, unlike the piers and rocks along the coast..
You can go a little further and swim all alone

A great beach if it's free. For those who do not want to pay by car, but will have to walk a little - we go to these coordinates (36.270252, 29.303238), leave the car in the shade of trees and descend 700-800 meters along the sand dunes to an absolutely empty beach. There will be no cafes, people, dirty toilets. And it is necessary to take an umbrella. The wind and waves are almost constant, but the water is almost not muddy, it is quite transparent. And it is shallow up to 60 meters from the shore.

There was a few years ago- a clearly underestimated chic corner of Turkey - a cool forest road to a luxurious beach, very interesting ancient Roman ruins- in general, there is something to see and have a good rest (stayed in a small hotel with a swimming pool)

Of course, you probably need to admire. But literally, ruins and that's it. And the price tags for entry are space. This year, in general, a card was introduced, according to which up to 10 people can enter. Moreover, there is both a beach and attractions at once.But if you don't know, then at the entrance they will sell a card for each car, which may contain only one or two people. And it costs 15 euros! Yes, sun beds and umbrellas on the beach are not included in the price. One sunbed is 200 liras, one umbrella is 150 liras until five in the evening. They'll come and take it away.

The beach is very beautiful, really like on the ocean, but too expensive (15 euros per person). The infrastructure is so-so (a couple of dirty toilets and changing rooms), a small cafe. There are many souvenir stalls on the way from the parking lot. There was a strong wind and waves, just stood in the water near the shore. The water is muddy because of the sand. I definitely wouldn't have gone a second time

I think the price of € 25 per person is too much. Even if you don't need an antique city, the beach is still at full price.
We were at this beach that year and we really liked it, this year we just turned around and went to Kaputash beach. By the way, it costs 35 lire per person. It's not even about the price, but what you get for this money. At the same time, the price for Turks is 60 liras.

I was in Patara only once, unfortunately. But the impressions of what he saw remained for a lifetime. There was a storm at sea, but that didn't stop you from enjoying the grandeur of this beach. When we went to the beach, it was like we were on the ocean shore. The vegetation is very diverse, I would really like to visit it again

there are only three hundred meters from civilization (cafe-bungalows, zones and sun beds). The rest is wild dunes with sea turtle egg laying sites. It is not possible to walk on hot sand without slaps. the approach to the sea is gentle. the sea itself against the background of hot sand is even refreshing. access to the parking lot is paid. the best option is to combine the beach with a visit to the ancient city

A grandiose building, mixed generations, states, peoples and worlds. It's worth a look, definitely. At the same time, there is a large sandy beach nearby.

The beach is very long, the impression may vary depending on the specific location. We went to about the middle and enjoyed the sun, the sea and solitude. The beach is completely sandy. You can drive up through the museum, but the price has recently become inhumane.

Wonderful, beautiful sandy beach. Admission is 15 euros per person, and a card is issued that entitles you to 10 visits within 10 days. If they had known about 10 visits, they would have come here earlier :-) Sun beds and umbrellas for 150 lira per piece, just like on Kaputash.

It's an amazing place. Only the sea, sand and mountains, and ancient Lycia) and turtle nests, which are carefully fenced with iron pyramids. A place of power. I want to come back!

We didn't get to the beach. The price of 15€ per person is too much, a separate boiler in hell for the official who invented it. Even a multi-pass for 10 visits for 80€ does not save. I had to look for another beach, we found Karadere, 30 minutes away, but it's free and almost empty, the water is clean, the sand is fine, the sea is flat, but there are no sunbeds, but the sea and the beach.

A unique sandy beach where 3 species of sea turtles are bred. This is an infrequent natural complex. It cannot be considered as a swimming beach! A shallow sandy plateau (up to 80 cm) goes dozens of meters from the water's edge, so children can swim, but for an amateur. At the same time, the water is clean, transparent and the sand is almost not muddy. Here you can feel the harmony and the truth of the wild nature.

The ticket to visit Patara has gone up a lot, but it's still worth it. A huge sandy beach and ancient ruins. If you're lucky, you can see how sea turtles lay eggs. We were lucky once).

A gorgeous beach. We took the bus from Kasha. At the entrance there is an organized part of the beach with a cafe, changing rooms, shower, toilet. You can rent a sunbed and an umbrella (100 liras each). We went to the right, it's deserted. We climbed the hot sand dunes with great pleasure. The feeling that you are on the ocean shore, the waves are magnificent.

I was not impressed, there are much better places and for free. Entry for 15 euros per person is very hard. I don't recommend it. Where the dunes are, there are piles of garbage, if you charge a lot of money for entry, be kind enough to at least take out the garbage.
The coastline is ordinary, and so is nature.

A cool place with a beautiful landscape. The pictures turn out great.
A mesmerizing view of the sunset.
I recommend that you remember the place from where you went to the beach. Take a little more water, otherwise you will dry out.
When the sun goes down, the beach gets creepy and it was said that there are a lot of stray dogs.

A very unusual and interesting beach for Turkey. Its length is about 14 km, solid sandy.
There is a paid entrance, everything is equipped there, but sun beds are for an additional fee, the territory is clean, there are garbage containers.
There is a bar, shower, toilet.
You can drive to the other side of the beach for free. But there's a lot of garbage. Next to the flowing river, the water in the sea is cooler

Guys, if you've been to Anapa, it's even a little cooler there. I drove for a couple of hours, paid 1,500rubles for entry, took a swim and ran away. Local dogs, families with drunks. Experience 🥴

Были только на пляже, цена за один билет 200 лир… дороговато. На пляже есть кафе, шезлонги, зонты все платно. Раздевалки и душ бесплатно. Красота неописуемая, дюны, скалы. Вода теплая, небольшие волны.

An incredible beach! Space, privacy. The most beautiful dunes!
The only thing is to take into account the work schedule, do not get in early in the morning and late in the evening.

Пляж очень красивый и хороший, если отойти подальше, то будет кристально чистая вода, даже когда стоишь в полный рост. Достаточно сильные волны, но если отойти, то классно на них плавать. Из минусов вход 200 лир за человека, еда вообще не вкусная, так что даже не стоит пытаться. Вообщем советую, пляж крутой, потому что напоминает немного океан.

Пляж просто обалденный,есть переодевалки,душевые,туалеты и кафе! Мусора вообще нет! Море очень чистое особеено если нет волн то вода кристальна чистая! Пляж огромный около 12км. В длинну если вам нужен покой и уединенние то просто пройдите дальше и наслаждайтес средиземным морем!
September 18, 2023
Самый обыкновенный пляж, с песком, соответственно не самая чистая вода, заход в море мелкий, нужно много пройти что бы нормально поплавать, ничего интересного там нет. Раньше был бесплатный, сейчас турки совсем офигели, и сделали ПЛАТНЫЙ ВХОД 340 лир с человека, совсем из ума выжили , не рекомендую! В 10 раз лучше пляж Капутаж, бесплатный вход, и гораздо красивее!! Прикрепила фото пляжа капутаж)

Потрясающее место. Бесконечный пляж, очень чисто и если немного пройти, то людей нет совсем. На барханах можно сделать классный фотосет в стиле пустыни, но делать нужно либо утром либо вечером на закате.
Заход очень плавный.
Ночью выгоняют всех, т.к. черепахи откладывают яйца. Удобств самый минимум и только при входе. Но зато думать о жизни и уединиться с природой - самое то, что надо.
Ещё это место неофициальный нудисткий пляж :)

Ездили смотреть на закат. Пляж потрясающий. Когда бродишь по дюнам, рассматриваешь рисунок на песке, созданный ветром, кажется, что ты в пустыне. Вода на мелководье теплейшая. Единственно, стоимость входа неадекватная-200 лир с человека.

Неплохой пляж, где черепахи откладывает яйца. Симпатичный пляж, очень длинный. Но есть пляжи в Турции намного лучше: Клеопатра в Аланье. Капуташ, Бланка и Халк в Каше. Голубая лагуна в Олюденизе. Илыджа в Чишме.
