What to see in Kemer and how to get to the attractions of the resort? We will consider with you all the available places for tourists, where you can not only relax, but also take beautiful photos to yourself in memory of Turkey. I'll make a reservation right away, we will consider with you not only the city, but also its environs.
Where to sit in a cafe in Kemer?
Where in Kemer can you sit in a cafe? I recommend that you visit several cafes that will fully reveal the Turkish flavor of the local cuisine to you. First of all, you should visit the ‘Pasa Kebap’ cafe, here you will discover the real taste of such a dish as kebab and the whole meat world that is in Turkey, I definitely recommend trying fried vegetables, I don’t know how, but here they are very tasty.
We go further and stop at the ‘Aspava’ cafe, it is located near the square and the monument to the first president of Turkey - Ataturk. Here you will be fed very tasty and cheap, I will not list all the menu items, I will say one thing, the prices in this cafe are more than reasonable. Cafe - bistro 'La paz', is open all the time, is located near the shopping area, I will not tell you anything about the bistro either, you already understand everything, ordinary fast food where you can eat quickly.
As for restaurants in Kemer, I advise you a few places where you can have a great time in the evening:
- La Terrasse (located in the Turkiz hotel, prices are above average, if you want to sit here, we take a seat from the manager in advance)
- My Eden Restaurant (we walk along the main street and in the center among the shops there will be this restaurant, the average price for two is $ 25-40 per dinner)
- Nassretin Hoca (located on Ataturk Square, the average price tag here for two will be $ 25-30 for dinner, European and Turkish cuisine)
As for other restaurants where you can sit in Kemer, go to the Hotel Magic Mount restaurant and La luna, both restaurants are simply excellent, but the prices here are also excellent in terms of high cost, so I recommend these restaurants to the Russian population, which has about 150 $ 200 for a dinner for two.
Where to take a walk?
Well, of course, this is the central street (Liman Kadessi) and the central Ataturk square, which after an evening dinner in hotels begins to fill with tourists and closer to 9 o'clock in the evening, on Liman street it is already difficult to find places in cafes and restaurants. It is still worth taking a walk along the embankment in the area of the yacht marina.
What to see in Kemer?
This is a big point of this article, which will start with such a Turkish attraction located in Kemer as Mount Olympos or Tahtali. You can get here with the help of a street excursion agency, I described the prices for excursions in Turkey in a separate article, so we follow the link and evaluate your financial capabilities.
Mount Tahtali or Olympos
The easiest way to get here is with the help of a tour agency or book an excursion via the Internet, below will be a service with which you can buy a cheap excursion to Mount Olympos. I recommend going up the mountain in the afternoon and with a windbreaker, in the morning there is a little fog (depending on the season) and a little cool. Near the lift up the mountain, mountain goats will be waiting for you, which love to be fed from their hands, so when collecting for this attraction of Kemer we take something to eat with us, well, a little money, there is a small cafe on the mountain.
Visit Mount Yanartash
Mount Yanartash is also included in the standard excursion package, but the road to the mountain is not very safe and in the form of a serpentine. I recommend visiting the excursion in the evening, as it will be much more beautiful, during the day it is difficult to see small beams of fire escaping from the rocks. You will get to the mountain on foot, about 700 meters along a path with huge steps up.
Go to Yoryukov Park
Park Yoryukov is located in Kemer in the open air, here you will see all the life of the ancient people - Yoryukov, you will see how they were engaged in their craft and how they lived, here you can buy a handmade souvenir and just walk without a guide. If you don't know what to see in Kemer on your own, then this is one of the parks where you can spend the whole day.
Rafting in Köprülü canyon
Rafting is certainly not worth watching, it is worth trying it on yourself, but I will make a reservation right away, we order this excursion only from a tour operator. In most cases, this particular excursion is disastrous and tourists who buy a tour on the street are not immune from unforeseen situations.
As for the price of this small trip through the highlands of Turkey, the trip will cost you $ 35-40 depending on the holiday season. Of course, it's worth a try, but only if you are confident in your abilities.
Goynuk canyon
What to see in Kemer on your own? Goynuk Canyon is the place where you can go on your own, and this is exactly what many tourists do. Gathering in small groups of tourists, you go far into the mountains to the waterfalls, here you will be greeted not only by the seething stream of a mountain river, but also by beautiful rocks.
How to get to Goynuk waterfall? The waterfall is located at the foot of the mountains in the villages of Goynuk and Beldibi. You will need to get onto the D400-09 highway, cross it to the other side and near the mountains you will see a small road with a dry river bed, ATVs very often drive along it, it will lead you to the waterfall.
Phaselis ancient city
Not far from our starting point is the ancient city of Phaselis, or rather what remains of it. Here you will see a street lined with shopping arcades, Roman baths and other buildings, your guide can tell you about this if you suddenly decide to take a tour of this area. Here you can see an amphitheater, see ruins made of real granite, which even now look very high-quality and massive.
Usually the local population comes here on weekends to relax, as there is a very nice beach nearby, which used to be a harbor of merchant ships. Of course, I advise you to take an excursion here, your guide will tell you a lot of interesting and exciting things, the excursion will cost about $ 25 per person.
What to do in Kemer with children?
What to see in Kemer with children? I advise everyone who came to rest in Kemer with children to go to the water park called AquaWorld, then go to the Mini zoo and only then see the dolphin show at the Moonlight park dolphinarium. All the pleasures separately will cost about $ 10-12. As for the water park, I recommend it not only to children, there are slides here that will make adults see their whole life in a few seconds. Admission to the water park for adults is about $ 15.
What else can you see without leaving Kemer? I recommend tourists with an extreme slope to take a bike and drive towards the village of Beldibi (in the north direction), if you go along the highway, you can see the so-called ‘Beldibi cave’. As for the ancient city of Demre, I will not say anything, you yourself know very well that this excursion is worth taking among the first.
I definitely recommend not only seeing, but also going to the hamam, there is a whole post about how I went to the Turkish bath that will help you decide on a relaxing excursion. Be sure to take a bike on vacation and just ride, you will find a lot of interesting things, for one thing and share with me in the comments about your bike trips. By the way, to everyone who rests in Kirish, you have probably already seen a flag and a small house on the mountain, and so this is an observation deck, which can also be reached by bike.
How to get to attractions?
You can get to all the attractions of Kemer with the help of excursion transport, which will pick you up and take you back to the hotel itself.As for the question, if you want to watch it all yourself, then you have four ways to get there:
- Taxi, a very expensive form of transport, the fare is $ 3 per kilometer
- Minibus (in Turkey it is called Dalmush), the fare is $ 2-3
- Bicycle (rent cost me $ 1 for 1 hour)
- Car rental is also very expensive, but you can go wherever you want and whenever you want.
Excursions in Kemer in Russian and prices
Personally, I booked several excursions from Kemer on Sputnik.ru. Many tourists have already tried this service and were satisfied, including me. I also recommend that you use this service without leaving your hotel room, here you can choose a tour with good guides and good service.
Where to go to have fun in the evening?
You guessed it, Kemer is a youth city, all life here begins after 10 pm, it is at this time that Kemer's nightclubs begin to work. So, here's a list of clubs where you certainly won't get bored out of boredom:
- Club Kristal, admission 10 - 15 dollars depending on the party
- Clud Aura, $ 10 entry
- Charlotte Disco, located in the Deniz embankment area, entrance $ 8, All inclusive for $ 25
- Salinas Club, entry $ 20
And finally, a little advice - read less and travel more on your own, seeing everything with your own eyes is much more valuable than photographs posted by tourists on the Internet. I hope now you know what to see in Kemer and what sights are worth visiting. Do not forget to share your likes on social networks and subscribe to fresh articles from the travel-picture.ru blog.
