Kemer, a small and cosy town that sits on the site of the former fishing village of Eskikaya, has been a popular destination for tourists for over a century. At the beginning of the last century, a massive fortress wall and an adjacent road were built, which helped put Kemer on the map as a great alternative to its neighbouring, noisy cities.
One of the main attractions of Kemer is its pristine pebble beaches with crystal-clear shallow waters. The coast, surrounded by pine forests and orange groves, can be found in the charming Tekirova and Beldibi areas. For a mouthwatering lunch, visitors should head to one of the many fish restaurants in Geyikbayiri. Meanwhile, those seeking relaxation on a secluded beach can find it in Kiris, while adrenaline junkies will love quad biking through the mountainous terrain of Camyuva.
Shoppers can explore the main shopping centres, small specialized shops, and several markets located along Liman Street. Families will enjoy the amusement parks, such as Luna Park, while history buffs can visit the ruins of ancient cities like Olympos and Phaselis. Nature lovers can also explore natural wonders such as the Beldibi caves and the canyons of Tahtali.
