Very beautiful! But be careful - there are very dangerous, biting algae in the water!! A three-year-old child developed a burn, and by evening he had a high fever. They managed with a zirtek and wipes

Phaselis is quite worthy of 4-5 stars as an ancient city and an excavation site. There is nothing much to see, but the opportunity to touch the antiquity is unique.
The problem is that Phaselis, in addition, is also a nature reserve and a recreation area with a very (very, very!) a high price for admission. For this price you will get 6 toilet cubicles, and 6 changing booths, plus 2-3 kiosks with food and drinks. They don't know what it means to "clean up garbage", "organize parking", "maintain cleanliness and order" here at all. And you're sitting in some kind of wilderness, I can't even compare with the "wild" beaches - rather with some dysfunctional streets of the most depressing cities, and for your money you're shoveling garbage to enjoy the beauty of the ruins, or the view of the bay, or swimming in the lagoon.
It's creepy

Admission is 10 euros per person! Everything else is a matter of taste and preferences. Three bays surrounded by relict pines. They are trying to make the ancient ruins look presentable, so that they can then take 50 euros from the nose)) for residents, the price is much lower, so there are more of them here than tourists. Locals have picnics here and swim in one of the bays. You can get around all the ‘sights’ in half an hour, since nothing particularly catches the eye. The characteristic monotony of the ruins is typical and does not differ in anything special or unique for the Turkish coast.

It makes sense to visit only as part of a walk along the Lycian trail from Paradise Bay without paying 10 euros at the entrance. The views to Phaselis are simply gorgeous, though I can't imagine how people walk in the season, well, it's very hot in the open sun.
As of November 2024, little is available, reconstruction is underway, dust is everywhere. The main street of Phaselis is closed. You can see part of the baths, the amphitheater, the aqueduct.

It's a beautiful place, but it's easier and more interesting to walk from Tekirova. The distance is 4.5km. There is no difficult road, but there are landscapes!

If history was difficult at school, if there is no understanding about the work of archaeologists, if there is no imagination and spatial thinking, if beer in the bar is more interesting, then it is definitely not worth wasting time on Phaselis.
We arrived on the 8th route from Chamyuva, walked from the gate. We like to walk-wander, next along the Lycian trail I will get to the excavations.
Beautiful views, a centuries-old history unearthed, everything is available, reach out, touch, freeze and imagine how it once was here! Wander along the paths between the houses, climb the amphitheater, look around from the bays. If you are looking for paradise on earth, then it is on the Mediterranean coast

The undeservedly high price for a ticket is 170 lira, a huge territory with several zones of remnants of an ancient civilization, most of it is fenced, work is underway there, excavations are underway somewhere, fortification is likely somewhere, if you walk, it is quite difficult in the terrible heat to walk 2-3 km from the ticket office to the ruins on an open road without shade, several picturesque coves in the rocks, but the far one is a rather long shallow approach over large stones in the water, not very comfortable, but then just sand, beautiful views with mountains and yachts, if you have the strength left, you can walk along the Lycian trail, there is another bay on the left with a cliff

The entrance cost 220 lire, and how many emotions! I liked all these ancient, antique buildings, ruins, fortresses, baths and even the amphitheater very much. There is even a beach with sand, it's really very shallow, but there are no waves (very cool with small children). You can take a very good walk, if you have time, be sure to come!

The so-called museum is not a museum at all. This is an office for collecting 220 lire for visitors. In fact, this is a shop that has captured the beach. Nothing corresponds to the museum. There are no excursions. But there is a grub. There are no plaques near any of the exhibits. The ancient ruins are in terrible condition, no one takes care of them. Scientific approach - 0. Trees destroy old walls. There are no shore fortifications to protect the ruins. Turks creatively break out pebbles and creatively combine different designs from them. Part of the pebble is dragged into the swamp of the "museum complex". Upstairs in the aristocratic part there are a few pathetic stones, which they proudly call either a palace or a fortress. Access to a significant part of the structures is impossible, only through thorns and steep slopes. The territory is polluted with garbage.
In general, everything is so sad that my heart breaks.
Do not go, do not encourage greedy stupid merchants finishing off the old city.

A beautiful place with the purest sea and an ancient city in the pines! From Kemer about half an hour by bus. Of the minuses, there is only one cafe in the park with a meager selection of food. If you go for the whole day, it's better to take food with you.

A very interesting place, we took a leisurely walk, took pictures, and the children were also interested. After a walk, you can swim on one of the beaches (there are several). We chose the one closest to the parking lot, there were the least people.

The ruins are small and unpretentious. For 15 minutes of inspection, and then if you've never seen anything like it. Now there are construction equipment everywhere and a lot of new models are being made.
I go there to swim in a small, shallow cove, where the water warms up much earlier and better.
So now they have also made entry 10 Euros per person. (Once it was 2-3 euros)

We were in Phaselis on August 3 of this year. We arrived from Kemer by bus 08, which takes us from the center (stop at the mosque) and straight to Phaselis. The entrance is 220 lire. We arrived at 4 p.m. on a weekday and there were an awful lot of people, mostly locals, all the parking lots were packed. All the beaches are dotted with people, all the bushes and trees are picnics. The ruins are beautiful, scattered throughout the "park", archaeological work and excavations are currently underway, but this does not interfere in any way. The ruins are mostly in the shade, so you can explore everything in the heat. Be sure to bring a swimsuit, there are changing rooms near the sandy beach and a shower. There are toilets too. It is quite pleasant to swim on the sandy beach, passing a small piece of stones (south harbor). It is not very pleasant that cars are parked right next to ancient ruins, and people place their belongings on them. Therefore, 3 out of 5.

A great place to relax, both cultural and beach. Now tickets cost 220 lira per person, masonry stones are being restored on the main street so there are blocked places, the beach is more or less, showers, toilets are working, cafes too, but prices bite.

A gorgeous place, there is a place to swim. Three cool coves, lots of old buildings. It is clear that the whole city has not been dug up. There are probably three more cities under the mountain. I sang an old Libyan song in the amphitheater and steamed in an old hammam. I haven't seen Andrian the emperor, they said he left recently. And he had an unacceptable day.

We were here in early June 2023, getting from Kemer, ordering a taxi for $ 50 round trip (with waiting).
I'll be brief, I'll tell you more about the photo: 1) The ruins are beautiful (especially the aqueduct and the amphitheater), the territory is small (three ports that have been preserved since ancient times: the southern one is rocky, with wonderful places for photos, the eastern one (or maybe the western one - then everything is the opposite) is swampy, the western one adjoins an excellent sandy alluvial beach).
2) The beach, I repeat, is magnificent and the only sandy one in Kemer and the surrounding area. Local Turks are present, but either family or young couples who have become Europeanized in recent years, and therefore without noise and hubbub. The descent is super-shallow and shallow with a long passage into the sea (as on Pleshcheyevsky Lake in Pereslavl-Zalessky).

You can swim on two clean beaches. Everything is imbued with the spirit of the times of Alexander the Great. Wander there, look at the sunset and remember how little Diogenes needed, "step back, you're blocking the sun for me."
Well, we are mere mortals, we believe in heaven on earth and we are waiting for how and when the Almighty will show his power for the benefit of us!

The most interesting place in the Kemer area. Historical ruins, beautiful coves. Admission is 180 liras per person (the price is valid for June 2023). I got here in the morning jogging mode along the Lycian trail from the northeast - I did not need to pay, since there is no checkpoint there. But it won't work that way in a car.

A crowd of local vacationers and swimmers. The ruins live up to their name. All the elements are arranged randomly without regard to their original purpose. In the amphitheater, children throw ancient stones at each other. Entrance is paid, it says 10 euros, in fact they charge more than the course, payment is only in Turkish lira.

We were there on May 26 , 2023 . We got there on our own from Tekirova by bus. The fare is $1 per person. Very close. There is a ticket office at the entrance to the park. The entrance fee is 180 liras. You can pay by card. Dollars were not accepted at first, but then the girl from the cashier suggested that she would pay for it herself, and we would give her dollars. 10 for admission. Children under 9 years old are free of charge.
15-20 minutes walk to the ruins. It's very picturesque along the way. Several bays. On the far side, mostly everyone swims. There's a sandy bottom. There is a small shop/cafe and a toilet.
On the way back, we waited about 40 minutes for the bus back.

A place you should definitely visit if you are staying in Kemer. Entrance is paid. Cash and bank cards are accepted. We paid with a Union Share card from Gazprom Bank. Take swimming trunks and towels with you - you can and should swim there. There is a small cafe, toilets, showers, changing rooms on the territory. A very beautiful place, I recommend it.

The place is cool, you can get by bus right to the gate, look at the bus on Google maps, the entrance is only 180lir per person, then another 15 minutes to slap in the heat, there are two bays, one is almost sand, the second is rocky, not deep, but you need flip-flops for swimming, where the stone is, the ancient city itself it's not big, but it's worth a look, there are a lot of people resting on the shore, a lot of cars, apparently there is a picnic area from all the nearby towns and villages. You can swim there with a mask, there are fish, not very diverse, but still.

Very picturesque, very beautiful.
But the price tag is 800 lire per ticket, Karl!
That's why we were surprised that there is a lot of traffic on the trail on a weekday at the end of the season.
Everyone goes around the top.
The buffet is good.
The juice is great, the ice cream is delicious, the dog is the cutest
The prices are high, but tolerable.
Very few people swim in the small bay, you can even sit on a bench.
There is a shower/toilet, even clean ones.
The ruins are very dilapidated, look at an hour / an hour and a half at most.
It's magical and relaxing all around, despite the coffins/sarcophagi lying around. The way back on foot along the bus is in my heart forever!

The ancient city of Lycia, founded in the 7th century BC by immigrants from the island of Rhodes. Hello beloved Greece. Turks, Greeks and other peoples constantly fought for the city because of its favorable location. The place is amazing: ancient buildings surrounded by coniferous trees, three beaches, endless sea. The farthest beach is large, with a smooth entrance to the sea and sand. Turks organize picnics on the shore, come with their tables, chairs, food, books and others. This is probably why there is no normal cafe with delicious dishes, it is better to take food with you. Or maybe they don't want to spoil the place itself and make it tributaries for tourists. A lonely stall with absolutely not tasty fast food and very expensive prices is the only place where you can eat. There are free toilets and changing rooms on site.
The amphitheater is very well preserved, the aqueduct is striking in its beauty. The long main street takes you back in time, and now you are already waiting for a ship with sailors who will disembark and walk along the main street to numerous baths, and they will be met by women and children. Entrance is paid, 90 liras, child 4 years old for free.

Admission costs 220 lire per person, not per car. Maybe it's a day off.
On weekdays, the price may be different, I don't know.
The price is very high. This place should be free.
We went with a relative by car.
It's very dirty. Cigarette butts are lying around.
Yes, I liked that local families relax here, it's very cool! But.. they don't like order, apparently.
Everything lies on the ground, starting from baby diapers.
