Night adventures in the ancient Phaselis
After walking the whole day from the parking lot on Beychik beach through the mountains along the sea through the town of Tekirova, I decided to stop for the night on the beach near the ruins of Phaselis - it was already getting dark, and the frightening screams of some animal could be heard from the forest nearby. I don't think sleeping with such sounds will be comfortable, so I packed up and went to look for a new parking lot through the ruins.
There are columns, remains of ancient buildings, baths, palaces, an amphitheater, and a square all made of white marble. It's a very impressive sight.
I walked slowly through the cape on which the city is located and had already passed half of the marina beach, when a lantern was turned on two hundred meters behind and they started shouting something into a megaphone in Turkish. Apparently, the museum security didn't notice me right away, because I was walking without a flashlight, and they heard me when I was far enough away.
Anyway, they turned on the siren, shouted something else into a megaphone, but did not catch up. And I walked briskly along the sea in the opposite direction. The trail went through the forest along the sea - there were ruins of necropolises here and there - it was not the most suitable place to camp at night. Therefore, after walking about a kilometer, I found a suitable place for a tent, sat for a couple of hours in relative silence - there was a thunderstorm and lightning flashing over Antalya in the north, and over the mountain in one of the hotels there was a disco "malinka berry", "hands up" and the like.
I slept restlessly.
I got up at dawn, packed up quickly and moved on.
It turned out that I was camped 10 meters from the ancient tombs, but I didn't see them at night. 💀

a great place for trekking (the Lycian trail passes through this ancient city) for a beach holiday, there are beaches both sandy, pebbly and rocky where the underwater world is rich in stingrays, crabs, I don't say anything about fish-there are all sorts of them there. It will also be very interesting for lovers of antiquity, in the summer of 2024, excavations, restoration and restoration are in full swing. a great place for photo shoots. A lot of locals come for picnics, but there are places for everyone. entrance/check-in is paid

A very interesting historical place.
Entrance is paid, for tourists about 1000 rubles. But it's worth it.
Necropolis, Roman baths, shopping area, amphitheater. All this is in the forest and on the seashore.
They are currently undergoing reconstruction.

A great place to walk! We went after lunch and regretted it - you can spend the whole day there! There is a place to swim: take masks with tubes with you and go snorkeling - the bottom is close and populated with all sorts of fish and other animals. After swimming, go explore the ruins - some are quite well preserved and there are places to climb and take pictures. You can get to Phaselis for free: we made a big detour back to the track. Then we realized that right from the cash register you can go up to the left uphill, climb, bypass the cash register and go further inside. Stock up on water. There's a drink shop inside, but it's not cheap

Sometime in 2010, on a walk from Tekirova to Phaselis, walking along the beach, I came across these ruins of stone blocks among bushes and trees. While exploring this place, I decided that it was a small fortification on the sea side and put it on the map. Why it became known as Phaselis is unclear to me. You still have to walk to Phaselis, cross the mountain and two beaches.

We got from Antalya without any trouble from the main station, they take us directly to the ticket office, the ticket for tourists is 10 euros, but it's worth it. Nature is a complete delight. Since we were there in winter, there were few people, deserted, rocky coves, dizzying cliffs, emerald water. We walked along the shore, in the other direction from the ruins. Not a soul...

The usual ruins. There are plenty of them all over Turkey. The price is 10 euros per person. In my opinion, it is a much-praised place. The bay and the beach are very many ships, they spoil everything. The beach is bad as such - toilets are far away, changing cabins are far away and collapsed (on urban beaches it is much better).There is mud on the beach. I think it's not worth the time spent.

A wonderful corner of ancient history..
The paved central avenue, the remains of ancient buildings, a fragment of a viaduct, a beautiful amphitheater. And all this on a small green peninsula in the shade of a coniferous forest. The picture is complemented by 2 adjacent coves with beaches.

Great. Touching the history of other countries is always an indescribable emotion. The main thing is that excavations are underway and everything can be seen with your own eyes. Entrance to the city is paid 10 euros at the exchange rate in 350 lira, but it's worth it

A picturesque excavation site of an ancient town. It will be interesting for lovers of ruins and ruins. There are also bays for swimming and a beach around. It is only a half-hour drive from Kemer.

An interesting place. I got there on my own by bus 8 from Kemer. A great beach to the right of the aqueduct. Fine and sandy. I think there are many more attractions underground. Over time, if the excavations are carried out carefully, we will find a lot of interesting things.

Phaselis, Phaselida (other-Greek: φασηλίς) is a city of ancient Lycia, in the territory of modern Turkey, Antalya province. According to legend, the city was founded in the VII century BC by colonists from the island of Rhodes, led by Lachius, on a small peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean Sea. Phaselis is located on the road to Tekirova, 16 km from the city of Kemer (60 km from Antalya) among the lush pine and cedar trees of the natural park. It is a very beautiful place, I advise everyone to visit. You can get from Kemer and Kirish by taxi, round trip $ 45 from Kirish. You can take the bus from Kemer. I was a little surprised that the locals swim and sunbathe right on the ruins, which date back to the 6th century BC.

An interesting place. There is a great quiet beach nearby on the territory. This year, a slight disappointment was due to the fact that the plaques with a detailed description of the artifacts were removed and replaced with QR codes, this requires a gadget with Internet access and is not very convenient.

A very interesting historical place. The ruins of the ancient city, which are not badly preserved. You can see arches, walls, baths, amphitheater, etc. Near the beach where you can swim, but it is not very convenient entrance to the sea: sharp stones. It is better to take swimming shoes with you. There is a protected area around the city, so not everyone is allowed by car, or rather, they are allowed only with some kind of passes. We were on holidays and the traffic was decent. We left the car on the side of the road, like many people, and walked first to the barrier, bought a ticket and then to the city and the beach. There were a lot of Turks on the beach with their families, they had picnics, as I said, there was a holiday of Eid al-Adha. I recommend you to visit in order to touch the history.

A wonderful atmospheric place. The ancient ruins left over from the Lycian civilization are buried in greenery. Open-air concerts are sometimes held in the evenings. Near the wild beach and Sundance farm.

It's a very beautiful place. The remains of an ancient city, pine trees, beaches. Local residents come to relax with their families. It is about 2 km from the bus stop. Admission costs 180 lire. If you walk along the main street, you will come to a beautiful bay with a sandy bottom. If you walk along the Lycian trail from the Tekirova side, you don't have to pay for the entrance.
