Phaselis is an ancient Lycian city located along the turquoise coast near Kemer, about 16 km from the town center. Founded in the 7th century BC, it was a key trading hub due to its strategic harbors and is now renowned for its combination of historical ruins and natural beauty. The site features remnants of Roman baths, an agora, aqueducts, and a theater, all set amidst pine forests and three small bays with crystal-clear waters.
The site is accessible by car or local buses from Kemer, with parking available near the entrance. Entrance fees are moderate, generally around 10 € per adult. The site is open daily, typically from 08:30 to 19:30 in summer and until 16:30 in winter.
Near the entrance, there are small cafes and kiosks where you can grab refreshments, snacks, or bottled water. Some local vendors offer light meals, including sandwiches and traditional Turkish tea or coffee.
