Dilapidated ruins of a Graeco-Roman port, overgrown by pine forest. It had three harbours in small coves: North, Battle, and Sun the southerly and best preserved. It suffered repeated pirate raids and lost its importance after the 3rd century AD.
Phaselis or Faselis was a Greek and Roman city on the coast of ancient Lycia. Its ruins are located north of the modern town Tekirova in the Kemer district of Antalya Province in Turkey. It lies between the Bey Mountains and the forests of Olympos National Park, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south of the tourist town of Kemer and on the 57th kilometre of the Antalya–Kumluca highway. Phaselis and other ancient towns around the shore can also be accessed from the sea by daily yacht tours.

Cable car to the 2365 m summit of Mt Tahtalı. The base station is 7 km up the lane branching off D400 near Phaselis. Shuttle minibuses also run from Kemer (250 TL return) and from the highway junction (100 TL). Gondolas run every 30 min and the ride takes 10 minutes. From the top you can go hiking, mountain-biking, climbing and para-gliding.
A beautiful flooded canyon, you either take a boat ride or swim up it (which gets you further, but the water is cold). The entry fee includes a shuttle from the entrance down to the dinghy, where you're issued with helmet, life-jacket and paddle.
