Kemer

Kemer is a seaside resort and a district of Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 40 km west of the city of Antalya.

Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey.

One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stoney rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany,The Netherlands and in recent years predominantly families from Russia. Many of the visitors come as part of low-cost all-inclusive package deals but tourism is still the mainstay of the local economy. There are so many vistors that most shops in Kemer are set up to sell things like leather jackets to overseas visitors and trade in the euro as well as the Turkish lira.

		Shopping:In this purpose-built resort, shopping consists of chic boutiques mixed with typically Turkish leather and jewellery shops. A foray into Antalya will sate any shopaholics voracious appetite!
Activities: Moonlight Beach is a beautiful crescent of sand and pebbles backed by verdant green grass and pines which offers a range of watersports in high season. In between this and the second, more pebbly beach, lies the upmarket and elegant yacht marina. Although the views of the pine-clad mountains are breath-taking, there is little of historical or culture significance in Kemer itself. Instead you can discover ancient Phaselis and the stone city of Olympos nearby. For the ultimate historical sight-seeing though head over to Aspendos.
		Restaurants: The resort offers a good range of cafés and restaurants, catering for the many tastes of its international clientele.
		Nightlife: In the evenings, Kemer can get quite lively in high season. There are late bars and even a couple of discos to choose from.
