In September 2015, we rested in the village of Tekirova. We decided with our son to visit this ancient city on our own, after reading the reviews of tourists about visiting these beautiful places. At the final stop in the village of Tekirova, they boarded a dolmush going to Kemer. They told the Phaselis antique driver, paid 6 Turkish liras for two and drove off. Dolmush brought us to the checkpoint. We purchased tickets worth 10 TL per person. And presenting tickets to the controllers, they went to enjoy the antiquities. The road from the Checkpoint to the northern bay of Phaselis is about one kilometer. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. We didn't freeze. The road passes through a mixed forest. Immediately we came across the ruins of sarcophagi, the ruins of the walls of some buildings. On the left we saw the ruins of the Temple (Tapinak). Beautiful place. We approached the northern bay. We saw a Turkish family with small children coming to swim.
Children splashed in the sea with great pleasure. Here the entrance, as elsewhere in Turkey, is pebbly. A battered Fiat was standing nearby. We photographed the ruins of some buildings and moved on to the Aqueduct. Five or six tour buses were parked at the ruins of the Aqueduct (Su Kemeri). The inscriptions on them were "Annex Tour", "Pegas Touristik", "Coral Travel" and some more. Bad sign. So there are crowds of people. And it's boring and sad...But no...Everything turned out not so bad. It turned out that the devil is not so terrible as he is painted. Yes, indeed, tourist groups came across on the way, as well as single tourists. The advantage of visiting on your own, it seems to me, is that no one is driving anywhere. You can study what you like for a long time, watch what you like, go where you want. We walked through the main street of the ancient city of Phaselis, on the right side there will be a large bath (Buyik Hamam), we saw the entrance to the amphitheater. We reached the southern bay.
Here is a beautiful sandy beach. Close to it are toilets and changing rooms. There are a lot of people who want to buy. On the territory you can find a cafe. My son and I really enjoyed this visit. In the same way, but in the reverse order, we returned to the village of Tekirova. Dolmushes going to Kemer and from Kemer stop at the checkpoint. Why pay for a tour. It's cheaper to come by yourself. I recommend downloading offline MAPS maps. ME from the Play Market. Download maps of the area where you are traveling. By the way, the fee for the tour can be 50-60 $ US, and you will pay for an independent trip in Turkish lira. Feel the difference. I wish you pleasant impressions. My son and I really enjoyed this trip.
