Discover the Enchanting Phaselis Ancient City with KemerTrip


Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Antalya, Phaselis Ancient City stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of history and natural beauty that Turkey offers. This remarkable site seamlessly blends ancient ruins with stunning beaches, making it an unmissable destination for travelers seeking both cultural enrichment and relaxation.


A Glimpse into Phaselis' Storied Past

Founded by Rhodian colonists in 690 BC, Phaselis quickly rose to prominence as a vital port city in ancient Lycia. Its strategic location facilitated flourishing trade, particularly in rose oil, perfumes, and timber. Over the centuries, Phaselis witnessed the reigns of Persians, Alexander the Great, and Romans, each leaving indelible marks on its cultural and architectural landscape.


Architectural Marvels Amidst Nature's Splendor

Visitors to Phaselis are greeted by an array of well-preserved structures that echo its grand past:

  • Main Street: A 20-24 meter wide avenue that once buzzed with daily life, lined with remnants of shops and public buildings.
  • Roman Theater: A testament to the city's cultural vibrancy, this theater offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
  • Hadrian's Gate: Erected in honor of Emperor Hadrian's visit in 130 AD, this monumental archway stands as a symbol of Roman architectural prowess.
  • Aqueducts and Baths: Ingenious Roman engineering is showcased in the city's aqueducts and bath complexes, highlighting the sophistication of ancient urban planning.


Tranquil Beaches and Natural Beauty

Phaselis is uniquely endowed with three serene harbors—North Harbor, Central Harbor (also known as War Harbor), and South Harbor—each offering pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters. These idyllic spots provide perfect settings for swimming, sunbathing, and immersing oneself in the tranquil ambiance that once enchanted ancient mariners.
