Phaselis
Phaselis Antik Kenti
A Lycian harbour town surrounded by pine forest, with three ancient harbour bays of clear water. You can swim beside Roman ruins.
Phaselis was founded in the 7th century BC and has three natural harbours: the North Harbour, the City Harbour and the South Harbour. The site is not large but very beautiful. A colonnaded main street runs straight to the sea, flanked by a theatre, baths, the remains of a Hadrianic gate and a Roman aqueduct. Pine forest extends down to the emerald bays, and visitors often swim and picnic on the South Harbour beach. Admission is charged in euros. Opening hours are approximately 8:00–19:00, and close earlier in winter. It is about 55 km from Antalya and 15 km from Kemer. Many blue cruise boats also stop here.
