The sand beach is beautifully clean for those who don’t know how to swim. Available on the pristine beach. Overcrowded. It’s especially crowded on weekends. We waited 15-20 minutes in row due to the introduction of museums

It is thought that the name Phaselis was given due to the bean-shaped boats of this age and the similarity of phonic sounds. So why beans? Since this was a commercial port city at that time, many ships came and went and these ships looked like beans. (There is no certainty)

Where to start with this hotel? The mountains, the sea, the food, the staff.... an amazing combination of things that came together to make our trip to NG Phaselis unforgettable. The mountains: Without this backdrop of the mountains I don't think this hotel would have half it's charm. Beautiful setting in the early morning and the sunset behind the mountains in the evenings. Everywhere you go in the hotel, whether you are at the pool, in a restaurant or just walking around the mountains create a perfect setting for the holiday. Like a painting. The sea: Beautiful waters filled with fish, calm bay at the front of the hotel for a relaxing swim and then you have the beach hidden away behind the cliffs as well in which you can enjoy the crystal blue sea. We spent most of our days here. Sunbeds aplenty if you get up early and never too busy. The food: the main restaurant was awesome, endless choice of dishes made fresh everyday and staff always on hand to assist. Lunch and Dinner was definitely the highlight. We never tried any of the other restaurants around the hotel but they looked great too. The staff: What a hard working team of indivduals. Always smiling, always helping, especially the team in the dining area and the boys down on the beach area working tirelessly to the never ending demands of the guests. We never had to wait for any length of time before the staff appeared to help with drinks and clear plates. Special shoutout to 'Yana' who served us most nights in the restaurant. And a special shoutout to 'Cagdas', what an asset to the hotel, there everyday, without fail, keeping the guests fuelled down on the beach (especially the Guinness!) Thank you Phaselis for a wonderful holiday. We shall be back.

Directions from the hotel in Kemer by Dolmus bus (2 EUR, approx. 15 min). The admission of TL 450 or EUR 10,-- I paid by credit card. Walk about 800 meters. Visit the site in peace (in front of the crowd from 12:00). Short bathing stay. Return to Kemer by Dolmus bus (2 EUR, approx. 15 min). Nice half-day excursion for EUR 14,--. The entrance fee is the same as in other historical sites (e.g. Perge, Myra/Demre. Comparatively, the historic buildings may be less spectacular, but it would have been a shame not to have seen Phaselis. Perhaps of interest: Alexander the Great is said to have wintered there with his troops in 334/333 BC before fighting the Battle of Issos.

I failed to comment on the performance and benefits of the Spa. Sam is excellent in his advice. The reception of the client is masterfully managed. Massages are performed by benefactor hands. What talents. Crazy good. A PURE HAPPINESS 🤩

Visited here when staying locally (Rixos Tekirova). We had planned to walk but it was too hot so we got a taxi instead. This was organised by the hotel. The driver picked us up, waited at the site for around 1:30 and took us back for circa 1,200TL. Entrance was stated as €10 but only payable in TL. The site is underdeveloped but we loved this. You could walk through all of the ruins. Some of the highlights were an aqueduct, Roman baths and amphitheater. The surrounding area is beautiful, with a lovely beach surrounded by pine trees. If you took a picnic and spent some time on the beach/in the sea, then you could easily loose an afternoon here. There is somewhere to buy drinks and ice creams from. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

It’s especially convenient for families with kids because the water is very shallow. You can enter with ease. Not to mention its natural beauty, it has plenty of trees and is surrounded by mountains. It’s also an ancient city, so it’s banned from firing, but you can have a picnic. Discount applied.

A wonderful place for those who love history. Ancient ruins. Lycian culture. Chicly preserved viaduct, Roman Greek theatre. One spacious street, baths, three agoras (plazas), tombstones. It is said that Alexander the Great lay beneath one of them. Stunning picturesque bays. People bathe everywhere. Excavations are under way. What didn't like - locals everywhere with barbecues, smoking, littering. Kind of weird for a place that's a monument to history and culture. Getting from Kemer in her own way - by bus (40 lire on one side) . The entrance is 15-20 minutes through the forest. Admission is about 345 lire. No currency. It's another 20 minutes to the ruins. It's hard in the heat, especially back. But the experience is sea! I'll come again!

Nice ancient ruins of a city, partially restored. Not too big. It was quite busy at the end of October. The highlight for us was the cute little beach in a small cove in the shade of the pine trees. Great for snorkelling and for swimming with kids. There is a great view of the mountains that opens from the theater. Bear in mind it is CASH ONLY, annoyingly so bring 10 euro equivalent in liras.

were in May. We went without a tour, in a rented car ourselves. Payment is only accepted in lira. strictly - don’t agree) we didn’t regret going without a tour. we read in advance what was what, and understood everything in the text. The area is small, but there are a lot of ruins there and places to take a walk. If we went with a guide, we would regret the money.
