A beautiful place - the ruins of an ancient city and at the same time 2 relatively small beaches right next to the ruins. Beautiful nature - the sea, pine trees, a fairly well-preserved part of the ancient Lycian city of the 4th-5th centuries before the NE - theater, thermal baths, central street, aqueduct, northern and southern harbors (where, in fact, the beaches are located). The northern harbor has a very small pebble beach, the southern one has a part in pines and without a coastal strip, part on the sand in the open sun. The entrance is pebbles and stones everywhere.
I gave a low rating because in the prices of 2024 they collected 10 euros per person, while there is no infrastructure here - there are no sun beds, cabins, toilets on the beaches (toilets and a small shower with additional smells only at the aqueduct). There are repairs around (apparently, lighting is being laid). There is very little information (there is a stand near the amphitheater and a couple of inscriptions on the preserved structures).
You can only get there by car, there is a traffic jam at the entrance, because they are just collecting money for travel to the territory. To get there, you need to avoid missing the turn from the Antalya highway (brown signs on the highway indicate the sights, but we still managed to skip the repeat first :)).
Hello, everyone.
We had a family vacation in August 2023 in Chamyuva (Kemer) and decided to visit Phaselis, an ancient city on the Mediterranean coast, on our own.
No problems on the 08 minibus, we got to the open-air museum.
The ticket cost 220 lire/person.
From the entrance to the museum-reserve there is an asphalt road to the seashore. Walk for about 20 minutes at a calm pace.
Phaselis is located between three crystal turquoise coves.
The number of preserved ancient buildings, an amphitheater, streets, tombs, houses is impressive.
Touching the ancient life....
Turks really like to relax here with their families, they come by car and spend the whole day in this beauty.
We visited a lot of sites, took beautiful photos and swam in one of the bays.
After breakfast at the hotel, you can come both for half a day and for the whole day. Not only to explore the ancient city, but also to have plenty of rest on its shores.
It should be noted that there are no cafes here, only small stalls with water and fruits.
Therefore, take snacks and water with you.
We spent several hours and returned to the hotel by minibus by lunch.
I recommend you to visit.
A beautiful city, visited independently. It is easy to get from Kemer or Antalya by car or public transport. The upper rows of the amphitheater offer stunning views of the mountains. A great bay with a sandy bottom for swimming, it is also very suitable for children. Pine trees make it possible not to be under the scorching sun. You can have a picnic (without a campfire and with the removal of your garbage)
The aqueduct is perfectly preserved, it's nice to walk in the heat in the pine forest on the coast. There are three beaches in the shade of pine trees. Very beautiful and clean water ...
The entrance has gone up a lot, about 400 liras😏
It is easy to get there by bus ta08 or by car.
An interesting ancient city with a very beautiful aqueduct and a picturesque bay. There are many foundations of ancient buildings, a beautiful amphitheater and many columns. One of the disadvantages is the overpriced price. Do not believe the sites that say that the entrance costs 90 liras. It was in April 2024, the entrance cost 10 euros or 375 lira. There is a cool picnic area on the beach in the shade of a tree.
If you are vacationing in the Kemer area, especially Tekirova or Chamyuva, then visiting the ancient city of Phaselis will diversify your leisure time well and add memories to your piggy bank.
When visiting on your own, I advise you to read the history of the city in advance.
We took a taxi from Tekirova. The cost is $25 round trip or $15 one way. You can call a taxi through Whatsapp in Russian. The comfort of a trip in the heat fully justifies the cost. The entrance to the city is $ 10, but the payment is only in lira, about 360 lira per person. Children under 8 years old are free of charge.
The city is located in the pines, you can touch the ruins, look at them inside somewhere, see the remains of plumbing or marble coverings.
While walking, we got tired of the heat and wanted to refresh ourselves in the sea. On the advice of the Internet, we went to the south bay. No luck - there was garbage in the water, like in a dumpster, we went in and immediately left. There are no changing rooms in that area, they put a bunch of thorns on clothes somewhere, then they were torn off for a very long time.
As a result, they bought up in the very port of the city. The water here was a little cooler, the bottom is rocky, but comfortable for us. m.b. swim to the ruins and relax on them. We didn't go to the northern bay, I can't say anything about it, but it's very close to the port.
The whole swim trip took us 3-4 hours.
A very beautiful place! The ruins of an ancient city in a coniferous forest on the seashore - what could be more beautiful? You can walk and admire the architecture, you can swim in one of the three bays, you can have a picnic in the shade. I highly recommend visiting for lovers of antiquities vacationing in Kemer.
Iniresnop is a place for walking. There are quite a few ancient artifacts and well-preserved buildings from ancient times. There are two large beaches nearby - there is a place to relax and cool off before and after a walk.
We walked here from our Marvida Hotel Akman Park, which is located in the village.Chamyuva. We downloaded a map of Antalya and the surrounding area to our phone. The Lycian trail is laid there. They followed it through the Paradise beach and then along the sea through the forest. We left the hotel at 5:40 at dawn to catch the heat. The trail itself was a delight. The most beautiful coves with turquoise clear water. Sometimes I had to climb up and go down to the beaches. But it's not hard. We saw a squirrel) Closer to Phaselis, stone sarcophagi and a deep well began to come across. By 8 o'clock we reached the territory of Phaselis. There is a booth at the entrance to pay for the entrance. But there was no one there. Perhaps because the Eid al-Adha holiday has begun. I liked Phaselis. The aqueduct is large, the main street with baths, an agora and an amphitheater. Cool and interesting! We were walking back to the highway to catch a bus. The road there is quite long. We came to the intersection, crossed to the highway on the left. The 08 Kemer-Antalya bus arrived quickly. We returned at 9:40. We had time for breakfast)))
We were here 2 times in 2023 and 2024. Everything is wonderful and beautiful, but the last time there were stone slabs on the beach after archaeological excavations, I hope it won't be for long. In the bay opposite the aqueduct, I advise you to swim away with a mask, there is a very beautiful arch of ancient slabs and there are many different fish swimming around.
There is a shower, toilet, cafe and souvenir shop.
The place is beautiful, the Greeks knew how to choose! A small peninsula with two small and one large bays, pine trees. There are vacationers everywhere, parking right by the aqueduct, there is also a museum stall, food and a toilet. General explanations, in Russian, are also in the center of the theater. Restoration is going on everywhere, more like a simple construction: in two years there will be a brand-new ancient Greek town. The ticket is 350 lire, it takes about twenty minutes to walk from the ticket office, you can drive by car.
the coolest place on the Antalya coast of the pine can be said to be a reserve very beautiful beaches, fragments of columns, the decor goes straight to the sea. for the whole day you need to take a drink of bathing accessories sunscreen and a towel
If you are going to walk there, about two kilometers from chamyuva, pay special attention to shoes, sneakers, comfortable shoes!!! In general, the place is beautiful, you can swim. If you go further along the Lycian ladder, you will climb rocks, stones, and make your way through bushes, if you expected that there was a good path there, you are mistaken. This is only for an extreme lover. Along the way, you will encounter remnants of civilization in the form of ruins, sarcophagi. The path is marked on rocks or trees with red paint . They often go to the sides, wriggling, making loops. In general, you can just visit *paradise bay * swim in it and return back to the city. Paradise Bay is the beginning of the Lycian trail. Take a bus to the ruins of the ancient city of Phaselis. If you drive from the Chamyuva area, kirish... On the regular bus *08* ask the driver to stop at the phaselis , there are signs on the road. If you go from Tekerov, the bus goes to the right place. Please note that the entrance fee is 10 euros.
It's worth a visit, for lovers of ruins. Restorations and excavations every day, it can be dusty.Also on the territory, there is a very large bay for swimming. There is both sand and Pebbles. The entrance cost about 10 euros, and only in lira! On weekends, there are a lot of locals, parking will be difficult
A wonderful place not only for enjoying nature, but also for philosophical knowledge of the antiquity of our civilization, its wisdom and beauty.
PS for autumn 2024, admission per person is 10 euros, or 350 liras. For advanced users, a walking tour along the Lycian Trail.
We went from the Phaselis Rose Club hotel (Tekirova) by bus (stops right at the hotel. 30 liras for 1 person. It takes you to the ticket sales point. They accept only lira and euros.!!! The ticket price is 350 liras for 1 person!!!!We had dollars, we waited for 3 buses to exchange them - it didn't work out. We used the downloaded Yandex maps and got to the ruins for free. The road is normal, the only thing I had to climb up and down the mountain (in sneakers, no problems at all). It is part of the Lycian Trail. On the way, we saw turtles, a lizard and fished crabs in the bay. I consider 1000 rubles for viewing the ruins to be an inflated price. But the natural attractions are just great: pine trees, mountains, beach - fine sand. Date of visit May 2024
An interesting place, it's a pity that the entrance is paid. The equivalent of 10 euros in Lira. There is practically nothing to watch. The only thing is that there is a pretty lagoon for swimming, and the pines shelter from the scorching sun. I rode my bike there, I thought they charge money for entry only from cars) There's nothing to do there the second time. Yes, you can enter the territory for free in the morning before 8 and after 19:00 in the evening. It is forbidden to stop with a tent.
Very beautiful! It's good that the city is being restored. We took a taxi from Chamyuva, it's a long way to go from the bus. A round-trip taxi, taking into account the fact that $ 25 is expected. One way (back) 15. Admission is 10 dollars. Children under 8 years old are free of charge. The ticket office accepts only lira, so change it immediately from the bus driver. Or at the supermarket, they accept dollars and euros, and give change in lira. There are three bays there, it's very good to swim. But it's better to take shoes for swimming, you can cut them on stones.
Honestly, well, it's kind of fun.
We rented a car and drove to the checkpoint - the price is 372 lira per person (372x3 = 1116 rubles, as of August 2024). They take it from the number of people in the car.
It is necessary to go for the emotions of the ancient city. In the morning and take water and energy. The place is open until 20:45.
We were passing through and couldn't enjoy it for that amount. A lot of construction equipment, wires, etc.
There is no guide, wifi or notation in Russian (only one information board). There are a lot of people, but everyone swims in the bay - there is no special feature, in my personal opinion.
But if you are a fan of Assasins Creed Odyssey, you definitely will
It's a very beautiful place. You can travel by bus 08, both from Kemer and Antalya, and from the village of Tekirova , the fare costs 40 lira . The entrance fee is 10 euros , but they take in lira , there were not so many lira with them , I exchanged euros for lira from the bus driver. Construction works are underway on the territory. But this does not prevent you from seeing the beauty of the ancient city. The second bay, which is located behind the baths, is perfect for swimming
On October 24, the ruins are in the process of excavation and there are not many places to walk, there are a variety of beaches. If you come here for this for the whole day, then the price of 10 € is normal, but if you look at the historical landmark, it's a little early :) as soon as the Turks dig out everything and make an excursion, then you can repeat it
Admission in 2024 has risen in price - 10 euros per person. They paid in lira, but the price was indicated in euros (apparently, now they accept not only lira). From Chamyuva, you can take the A08 minibus for 35 liras.
In my opinion, such an entry price is not very justified. There are ruins of an ancient city, of which the aqueduct and the theater are well preserved. Well, some bas-reliefs on some interior details. There are also several picturesque coves.
Judging by the OSM maps, you can get here for free on foot from Chamyuva past the main checkpoint, but I haven't tried.
My favorite place in the vicinity of Kemer! We came here for free from the Tekirova Shell gas station. I've been here 2 times, the first time in 2017 on a ship, the second this summer. An unforgettable atmosphere of antiquity!
The place is beautiful, the nature is amazing, but the man ruined everything. There is a lot of garbage. The Turks are pumping money and all they have done is put a couple of large garbage cans near the sea and at the exit. Admission is 10 euros per person. Moreover, the car has exactly the same cost. A very sad attitude....
A very beautiful and picturesque place with its own history, it is worth visiting to see the ruins (for 10 euros per person))), payment only in lira or by card. A picturesque beach, but the entrance to it is through pebbles, but then the sandy bottom is crystal clear and warm water with mountain views.
The ancient city of Phaselis is a picturesque ruin, beaches with views of Takhtaly Mountain and a favorite vacation spot of local residents. We were on Saturday and all the secluded coves and decent places on the beach were occupied by Turkish families, and cars were constantly passing along the road from the entrance to the "city" itself. Entrance to the territory is paid - 220 liras. I like to wander and climb the ancient ruins, so in general I liked everything. Aqueduct, thermal baths, the remains of temples, the agora and a well-preserved theater - all this smells of ancient history from the time of the conquests of Alexander the Great.
Today we decided to go to the ancient city on our own. We took the 08 bus from Tekirov and drove off.
The place is beautiful, but I do not recommend going there by gravity. We need a tour, information about this place.
As it is , it 's just the ruins of the ancient world .climbing them in the heat , that 's it ...for an amateur.
Personally, I didn't feel any excitement. Therefore, take excursions where the guide will tell you in detail about this place.
It's interesting to come and see it once. There is a path leading up the hill, a beautiful view and ancient empty graves at the top. There are artificially restored ruins of the city below, which continue to be restored. The entrance fee is 10 euros per person, including children. For Turks, 60 lire per person. There is a bay with a large sandy beach with a changing room and toilet 100-200 meters from the beach.
Фаселис — античный город (16 км от Кемера), находящийся среди живописного охраняемого парка, с 3-мя чистейшими бухтами.
После ознакомления с руинками, здесь можно отдохнуть — искупаться, позагорать.
Многие приезжают сюда на целый день.
По выходным, излюбленное место турков. Если не любите толпы, лучшее время — на неделе.
Была здесь осенью 2022-го и вновь очутилась там в мае 23-го.
Цена входного билета подскочила аж в 4 раза. Пожалуй, это единственный минус.
зы: в этот раз, нашли на пляже старинное горлышко от глиняного кувшина. Полюбовались и оставили частицу истории на камне.
The ancient city is located on a picturesque peninsula, the ruins of the theater, agora, Roman baths, aqueduct are very romantic, admission is 10 euros, only lira is accepted, keep this in mind
Everything is fine, except for the entrance, 10€ , quite expensive. You will see the remains of an ancient city, a turquoise sea, a dangerous stone entrance. If we take into account the entire coast, then there are more worthy places. If you are nearby, then visit
I wonder if it's worth spending half a day and going... It's true that a lot of things are closed because of the work on laying paths and other improvements for viewing, but it still smells so powerfully of antiquity that even goosebumps arise from time to time, when you think about how many centuries it all costs...
It is very beautiful, a significant historical place! I recommend it to everyone! But definitely with a guided tour! It will be more interesting this way!
The ruins are small and unpretentious. For 15 minutes of inspection, and then if you've never seen anything like it. Now there are construction equipment everywhere and a lot of new models are being made.
I go there to swim in a small, shallow cove, where the water warms up much earlier and better.
So now they have also made entry 10 Euros per person. (Once it was 2-3 euros)
Bus number 8 runs from Kemer, costs 30 lira. The entrance to the museum is 220 lire. Interesting, beautiful. Nearby beaches. The water is warmer on them than in Kemer. Tourists are taken there on boats to swim. There are few people, the beaches are not equipped. It's good to go here for the whole day, grabbing a snack. Locals come with their tables and chairs for picnics.
There are two ways to get here: by bus 8 from Kemer, which will take you to the entrance, where you will pay 220 lira for an entrance ticket, or walk along the Lycian trail from the village of Chambva, with fabulous landscapes and deserted sea coves. In the second case, you will not have to pay for the entrance to Phaselis) The historical complex itself is very impressive, and the nature and the sea around are amazing.
We were in August 2024. I recommend going there early in the morning on weekdays, while there are not many people. Set aside 1.5 hours for sightseeing. And then swim in one of the bays. The entrance fee is 10 euros. But the payment is only in lira. You can pay with an UP or Letim card.
The incredible beauty of the city is located in a gorgeous picturesque bay. Currently, the entrance costs 220 lira, which is 880 rubles at the time. We got from Kemer on our own on a regular bus, only they told us the Facelis and they pointed out to us which one to get on, like 108, not exactly. It takes 20-30 minutes to drive, the fare is 30 lira, 120 rubles. They accept lira, dollars on the bus, no difference. The bus takes you directly to the ticket office, then you need to walk 500 meters to the beginning of the city. There are several beaches, there is even a shower on the Far beach, there is an open-air cafe. There are remnants of buildings, streets, an aqueduct, an arena (theater), and everything is very colorful. I recommend.
Cool, worth a visit.
Ruins of the old town, lagoon and sandy beach. Entrance to the territory is paid $ 10, children are free of charge.

I definitely recommend visiting this place, nature, a photo for memory, it distracts well when you get tired of the beach, you couldn't reach Phaselis because you were in uncomfortable shoes (I recommend comfortable shoes), but we had enough of the trail itself, a great walk, but we need to be ready to climb uphill and from the mountain))
We came in from Paradise Bay, on the right side of the bay itself, there is a "hole in the fence" :) in one of the photos, a red dot, this is the place where the "hole" in the fence:)
The park itself is great, but everything is spoiled by a large number of swimmers and sunbathers, as if we are not in a historical place, but just on a city beach (
A crowd of local vacationers and swimmers. The ruins live up to their name. All the elements are arranged randomly without regard to their original purpose. In the amphitheater, children throw ancient stones at each other. Entrance is paid, it says 10 euros, in fact they charge more than the course, payment is only in Turkish lira.
Фаселис - как античный город и место раскопок достоин вполне 4-5 звезд. Особо посмотреть нечего, но возможность прикоснуться к древности - уникальная.
Проблема в том, что Фаселис, кроме того, это ещё природный заповедник и зона отдыха с очень (очень-очень!) высокой ценой за вход. За эту цену вы получите 6 кабинок туалета, и 6 кабинок для переодевания, плюс 2-3 киоска со снедью и напитками. Что такое "убирать мусор", "организовать стоянку", "поддерживать чистоту и порядок" здесь не знают совсем. И вы сидите как в какой-то глуши, даже не могу сравнить с "дикими" пляжами - скорее с какими-то неблагополучными улицами самых депрессивных городов, и за свои деньги разгребаете мусор, чтобы насладиться красотой развалин, или видом бухты, или купанием в лагуне.
Жуть
An interesting and beautiful place.
Definitely worth a visit if possible
There was not enough information about each building. What it looked like, when and how it was used, etc.
If history was difficult at school, if there is no understanding about the work of archaeologists, if there is no imagination and spatial thinking, if beer in the bar is more interesting, then it is definitely not worth wasting time on Phaselis.
We arrived on the 8th route from Chamyuva, walked from the gate. We like to walk-wander, next along the Lycian trail I will get to the excavations.
Beautiful views, a centuries-old history unearthed, everything is available, reach out, touch, freeze and imagine how it once was here! Wander along the paths between the houses, climb the amphitheater, look around from the bays. If you are looking for paradise on earth, then it is on the Mediterranean coast
Very beautiful. The ticket is only for lira, so take them in advance. It is advisable to take more than necessary, because the price may differ from the site (we did it that way)
Незаслуженно высокая цена за билет 170 лир, огромная территория с несколькими зонами остатков древней цивилизации, большая часть огорожена, там ведутся работы, где-то раскопки, где-то вероятно укрепление, если вы пешком, довольно тяжко по жуткой жаре идти 2-3 км от билетной кассы до руин по открытой дороге без тени, несколько живописных бухт в скалах, но дальняя- довольно долгий мелководный заход по крупным камням в воде, не очень комфортно, зато потом просто песочек, красивые виды с горами и яхтами, если остались силы можно пройти по Ликийской тропе, там еще одна бухты слева с обрывом
