The sand dunes are best place to see sunset and our staff will help you to get there. Strict laws kept Patara beach unspoiled by forbidding to build around. Patara beach is so special, it is a good place to rest and enjoy nature and also it is home to the Caretta Carettas. The only man-made thing at the Patara Beach is the Beach Café which is run by local governorship to promote local facilities.

Umbrellas and sun beds can be hired for a affordable price from the café or one can have some privacy with walking a bit. To get to the beach our guests simply can use our shuttle service or walk to the beach across ancient city of Patara which will take approx. 20 min. * Caretta Carettas are beautiful sea turtles which can weigh up to 200kg. They come to Patara beach at night in summer months to lay their eggs. New turtles come after 60 days and they head to reflection of moonlight in the sea.
Most interesting thing is they come back to the same beach to lay their eggs from thousand km away. In order to keep this species Patara beach has to be protected.
