Seaside town, marina and shopping
Kemer is one of Antalya's most popular resort towns, known for its beautiful marina, clean beaches, and lively bazaar. Stop at Kemer Beach for a swim and enjoy fresh seafood at one of the local restaurants.
Unique ancient port city with three coves
Phaselis is one of Turkey's most photogenic archaeological sites, featuring an ancient theatre right on the sea, ancient harbours, and pine forests. You can combine swimming with historical exploration in a single visit.
Quiet, uncrowded coastline
Just minutes from Phaselis, Tekirova is a perfect alternative for those seeking peace away from the crowds. Its pebble beach and crystal-clear water make it an ideal rest stop.
Ancient city + Çıralı beach + Chimera
If time allows, visit the ancient city of Olympos and the Chimera (eternally burning natural flames). Watching the sunset at Çıralı Beach is an unforgettable experience.
While it's technically possible to reach Kemer and Phaselis by public transport, bus schedules are limited and route flexibility is minimal. With a rental car, you can leave whenever you like, spend as long as you want at Phaselis, and freely add extra stops like Tekirova or Olympos to your plan. The coastal road between Antalya and Kemer is also a genuinely enjoyable drive in itself.
