| about kemer | ||
| Kemer is an idyllic city by the Mediterranean ocean with a population of about 33,000. On the way from the airport in Antalya you will drive partly through forest while enjoying breathtaking views of the ocean. Kemer is a new holiday destination, and it is still one of the smaller and quieter resorts on the popular and sunny south coast of Turkey. This resort town has been carefully designed to blend in with the surrounding scenery and offers an ideal environment for a wonderful holiday. The fully equipped Kemer marina allows yachtsmen to enjoy the unspoiled bays and beaches south of the town. Shoppers will delight in the wonderful range of high quality souvenirs for sale. A beach promenade north of the marina has steps down from its cafes and shops leading directly to the beach. The cleanliness of Kemer Beach has earned it an EU 'Blue Flag'. |  | |
 | There are five fantastic golf courses within one hours drive, and year round skiing 2 hours drive away. Restaurants and cafes are plentiful, tempting you with fresh ingredients, subtly flavoured with the unusual blend of herbs and spices. For anyone who fancies dancing the night away Kemer has an ample supply of music bars and discos. The remains of Phaselis are within easy reach and the rock tombs at Myra near Demre are just down the road, where you'll find the Church of St Nicholas, patron saint of children and the original Santa Claus. Nowadays, its hard to believe that the tranquil sandy beaches here were once busy harbours and the picturesque ruins scattered on and around the shore are the remains of a major trading city which was thriving more than 2500 years ago. | |
