Kaputash
Kaputas Beach - Turkish Caribbean. Located in a mountain gorge, covered with white sand. Most often, it is from this beach that photographs are published in advertising brochures of travel agencies. Indeed - this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Antalya, it is located near the cities of Kas and Kalkan. The road to the seaside is not fast, but very scenic.
The beach is completely free, except for the rental of beach equipment. To get to it, you will need to overcome a path through a gorge and a descent from a rather steep staircase of 192 steps, but it's worth it. The place is truly impressive. Of course, it is not the most suitable place for visiting with children, but it is difficult to find more beautiful than the beach in Antalya.
- There is another sandy beach nearby with the name Patara... These are real white sand dunes. The coast is incredibly large, its length is more than 10 kilometers, there are practically no people here, which is rather strange, since the place is very beautiful.
This beach is deserted not only due to the lack of tourists, it is deserted in its structure, there is a lot of sand, many dunes and very little vegetation and it is almost impossible to hide from the scorching sun. It seems that the reason for its low attendance has been found.The place is not for children, after all, it is too open space, although an adult here can frolic like a child and no one will see him.
- Not far from Kaputas and Patara, there are such hotels as: Patara Prince Hotel & Resort and Hotel Pirat. The nearest hotel is located about 3.5 kilometers from these wonderful places.
Antalya has beaches for every taste: sandy, pebble, rocky, picturesque with lots of entertainment, and secluded, you just have to choose which one you like more, and ideally visit all of them.
