Patara

Patara Beach, located on Turkey’s southwestern coast, is a stunning 18-kilometer stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear waters.

Just behind the beach lies the ancient city of Patara, birthplace of St. Nicholas and home to well-preserved ruins like a Roman theater and the world’s oldest lighthouse. Whether you’re there for a relaxing beach day or exploring ancient history, Patara Beach offers an unforgettable experience.
