I rode here on my mountain bike from my Hotel in Kiris, it is only about 6 miles away, or around 10 miles from Kemer. You can get a Dolmus to the top of the road, but it 1.25 miles from the road to the beach so bear that in mind and is uphill all the way back!Entrance is 10 Lira (£2.90). There is a small cafe at the site and some 'proper' toilets. It is a lot more compact than Olympos (see my review of that) and in the main a lot better preserved and easier to get around. Once you have seen the sites, the old road, baths and Amphitheater you can relax at any one of the three beaches. A great place to spend a relaxing afternoon.
A totally unspoilt historic site. If this was anywhere else in Europe it would be a real hit. Surrounded by pine woods and a lovely bay ideal for a picnic. Can be reached by boat or taxi.
Once can see why Alexander the Great came here and decided to stay for a while before marking on. The pine scented location by the bay is the location of Greek and Roman ruins by the seaside. The amphitheatre is in fairly good condition and with a view of the hills that surround it. The place is overrun by Russian tourists but the beach is quite nice apart from the tourist boats with their loud music. There is a small shop, restaurant and toilets next to the aqueduct.
Stunning beach and mountain scenery with historical ruins too. A location to spend time enjoying the surroundings.
I personally didn't enjoy visiting this place. It is far from Antalya, small and below expexpectations. If you don't have a car or haven't joined a tour, you have to walk across a forest to reach this archeological site. I have seen better places, but they don't get as much publicity as this one.
Turkey has a lot of ancient greek and roman cities- it's amazing, but to be honest we have visited enough of them to get really impressed of it. We came to Phaselis to spend a day off, didn't expect much but somehow have got this "wow" impression. I really loved the ruins, it's all between high trees! And the beaches were so cozy, families were spending all day having a picnics around the trees in the shades... really different cozy beaches compared to Antalya's others where you can't really feel privacy or comfortability :)
Great snorkeling through huge ancient stone blocks. Like a maze of blocks. Very child friendly and clean. Actually good snorkeling and interesting ruins that we found from Antalya to Fathiye. They have some food and drinks there but not high quality like other road side stops in the area.
Phaselis is only a few kilometres from Tekirova and easily reached by bus. It is a little further from Kemer, but not much. It is an ancient monument and in a National Park . The entrance fee is 10 Turkish Lira. It is very interesting and has a lovely quiet bay in which to swim or sunbathe.
Had a great time here and enjoyed the ruins. It was neat to be in a place with such history. I would recommend
We made our own way to Phaselis with no problems.Great picture opportunities, plenty to see.3 great beaches 2 with shale and pebbles 1 sand with a gentle sloping beach, look for the little fish swimming around your feet in the clear water, then finish off your day with a snack and a beer, before the gentle walk back to get the bus back to your hotel.Andy & Jane
