Kemer

Kemer is a small tourist town on the southern coast, one of the most famous seaside resorts of Turkey. Kemer is very similar to the classic resorts, there are all the necessary attributes: sea, beach, hotels, restaurants, road and mountains.

Until the 1960s Kemer can be reached only by sea. But after Antalya has become quite famous resort here a highway to Kemer was built. Starting from the 1990s, Kemer has become one of the biggest tourist centers.

Most of the streets look like on the next photo. Note that there are no wires in the center, all communications are hidden under the ground.

Along the sea runs promenade. Actually, beautiful promenade is one of the keys to the success of a good resort.


Kemer has pebble beach and because of that water is very clear. Mountains around the city create beautiful landscapes.


Kemer is a typical beach resort without historical attractions in the town. Main attractions are beach, promenade, restaurants. We hired bikes and drove around the town. There are no bike pathes outside the town, so have to go on the road.




Just do not run over a hedgehog :)


You can also take a walk on the territory of interesting hotels. We visited Orange Country Resort (came from the beach, map). This hotel is built in the style of Amsterdam and looks very nice, especially in the evening. We were in Kemer in 2008, perhaps since that time some new unusual hotels appeared.




Getting there: The nearest airport is in Antalya (60 km). By bus go to Antalya bus station and transfer to bus in the direction of Kemer, they run frequently and cost 5 euros. Taxi from the airport to Kemer cost 65-70 euros.
