About Phaselis Antik Kenti

Phaselis gathers the remains of an ancient port city on a wooded peninsula south of Kemer.

The layout preserves an avenue, baths, a theatre and sections of aqueduct. The coves allow you to perceive how the different harbors shaped the site’s occupation. Walking between the structures and the sea gives a reading of the site that differs from inland archaeological complexes.

Road access branches off the main road near Tekirova. Set aside time to explore the ruins and, if conditions permit, enjoy the coast. Beach and archaeology share the space, but swimming depends on sea conditions and usage rules.
