Patara

Beach, ruins and village life sit close together here, so the day never has to feel rushed.
Patara Beach
Patara Beach stretches for 18 kilometres, with golden sand, open space and dune scenery that make it one of the longest beaches in Turkey.
Because the coast is protected, there is almost no built development along the shore. The only services on the sand are the beach cafe and rentable sunbeds and umbrellas, and you can even reach the beach on foot through the ancient city in about twenty minutes. From June to September, the beach is left to the turtles after dark.
- 18 km of golden sand
- Open dunes and shoreline
- Beach cafe and sunbeds
Ancient city and assembly hall
Patara was the capital of the Lycian League, and its assembly hall, theatre, colonnaded street, granary and harbour traces can still be walked in one route today.
Excavations show that the city is older than 2,000 years. In mythology Patara is linked with Apollo, and it is also remembered as the birthplace of Saint Nicholas. The bouleuterion seated around 1,000 representatives, the theatre held more than 6,000 people, and the ancient lighthouse is tied to the reign of Nero.
- Capital of the Lycian League
- City older than 2,000 years
- Bouleuterion for around 1,000 people
Nature and the dunes
Patara National Park adds another identity to the coast, with dunes, pines, wetlands and one of the important caretta caretta nesting beaches in the region.
The beach closes after sunset from May to October because of turtle nesting season. Loggerhead turtles return to the same shore after journeys of up to 1,000 kilometres. The area also attracts bird-watchers, with species such as the wallcreeper and the Smyrna kingfisher, and dolphins can sometimes be seen offshore.
- Caretta caretta nesting coast
- Night protection from May to October
- Strong bird-watching area
Gelemis village and olive groves
Gelemis is the village side of Patara, shaped less by resort blocks and more by small family stays, local businesses and olive groves around the edge of the settlement.
The village has small shops, bars, a hammam, snack stops and calm streets that are pleasant in the evening. Fields, olive trees and fruit gardens start almost at the edge of the village, so daily life and tourism still sit side by side here.
- Family stays and small businesses
- Bars, hammam and village life
- Olive groves and gardens
