Kemer
has all the ingredients for a really relaxing holiday. The resort
has been carefully planned and designed to make the most of
its beautiful location without being too intrusive. The resort
focuses around the magnificent blue waters and colourful marina
of Antalya bay with a backdrop of the towering Jagged peaks
of the Taurus mountains.
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. There's much to
see in this fascinatin g region, not to be missed are Yoruk
Parki. an amazing view on how the Turks lived several hundred
years ago. 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.
