Resort of Kemer, Antalya

The klein seaside town von Kemer is situated in a forested valley surrounded by the western Taurus Mountains, close to the larger, livelier resort von Antalya. It boasts a lovely marina with a promenade down to the beach, and tastefully designed hotels and houses spread along the shore, and there are many bays and coves to explore. An interesting place to visit is the Yoruk (Nomad) Park where visitors can see traditional craftsmen at work under leafy trees. 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 von Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in turkei. With virtually nothing to offer in the way von quaint old buildings, photogenic winding streets or archeological ruins, people come to Kemer for sun and sea.
