For those Russian travelers who know only beach Turkey, calm Kemer is associated primarily with clean and crowded pebble beaches. Hardly anyone will doubt the importance of this type of recreation for a hospitable city nestled on the seaside. But the famous resort also boasts a variety of historical and cultural sites and a variety of entertainment options. So, what are the most interesting attractions of Kemer from a tourist point of view?
Famous boulevard
For most inquisitive guests of picturesque Kemer, acquaintance with the city begins on the rather long Ataturk boulevard. Guides and not only them call this street decorated with tall palm trees one of the main and favorite tourist attractions of the hospitable resort. Sitting in a cafe, which plays the role of a cozy observation deck on the local clock tower, is a truly pleasant and unforgettable pastime. Here, on the square, guests of the city are distracted from the annoying bustle by the murmur of transparent streams of an elegant fountain. The fairer sex does not miss the opportunity to go for a run in local shops, and on Tuesdays or sometimes on Mondays drop by the crowded vegetable market.
Olympos Teleferik (Tahtali)
Almost every traveler who has a rest in the city dreams of a 10-minute - flying like an instant - journey on a 4.35-kilometer cable car. Only having appeared in 2007, "Olympos Teleferik" - this is how this structure was officially called - immediately became in demand among both adult travelers and young tourists. During the warm season, the lower station of the road begins to receive passengers ready to explore the sights of Kemer from a height at 9:00. In order to enjoy the wonderful resort views, you will have to part with 28 euros. At the spacious upper station, travelers will find not only a cozy observation deck, but also two luxurious, slightly expensive restaurants.
Dinopark
More recently - in 2012 - a park appeared in the picturesque surroundings of Kemer, where, without a fantastic time machine, you can move to the era of mighty and ferocious dinosaurs. Tour guides often talk about visitors who are genuinely frightened when they meet the moving and snarling figures of ancient reptiles. The mock-ups are made so naturally that such a reaction does not seem unexpected. Thanks to the planetarium, you can also go on an exciting interstellar journey here. Those playful kids who are afraid of such, albeit virtual wanderings, can just ride obedient and funny ponies. The spacious hall of the 7D cinema will delight you with a variety of historical and geographical documentaries shown in it. Only $ 35 is required to visit the fabulous park and plunge into the magical world of its rides.
Ancient Phaselis
Kemer is surrounded by the remains of several once flourishing ancient cities. Phaselis, famous for its ancient buildings, stands out among them.Numerous travelers primarily seek to get into the well-preserved amphitheater of this Kemer attraction. Quite often, those who come here for the sake of acquaintance with ancient history have a feeling that the dilapidated stone stands are about to fill with spectators and a dramatic performance will begin. An old aqueduct is located nearby, which reminds of the former greatness of the city that existed here. Fans of beach activities, examining the remains of ancient structures, after the excursion, will have an unexpected but pleasant rest on the sandy and pebble coast.
Moonlight Park
In this park complex, spread over 55,000 sq. m, travelers will find a wide variety of entertainment. The show with two witty dolphins and a graceful sea lion at the Dolphinarium, which is loved by children, is considered especially exciting. Passionate fans of diving, popular among young people and always in demand windsurfing, will find here almost ideal conditions for their activities. For the entrance to the territory of "Moonlight" you will have to pay at least $ 30, not counting the separate fee for visiting the park entertainment facilities. However, all this is fully compensated for by a fairly high level of service and a wide variety of entertainment.
Here, multinational visitors can relax on a clean and long sandy beach, which is considered one of the best in the resort. Little tourists will be delighted by several water slides, and gambling youth can have fun in the evenings carefree in local democratic and stylish clubs. You can come to the beach belonging to the park even at night, and all entertainment events become available at different times, but quite early.
Due to the large selection of entertainment and the multitude of beaches, Kemer is often compared with Israeli Tel Aviv, Croatian Split or Bulgarian Varna. The club life here reminds many experienced travelers of the Spanish Ibiza. And yet the resort manages to preserve its Turkish flavor, which attracts thousands of streams of gambling and uneven tourists seeking to see the outstanding sights of Kemer.
