About this attraction

Patara Beach

Patara Beach is the 18 km arc of golden sand south of Kalkan — one of the Mediterranean's last unspoiled long beaches, with Lycian ruins (Patara was the capital of the Lycian League) directly behind the dunes. Protected as a sea-turtle nesting site, so no buildings, no beach clubs, no plastic loungers — just empty sand. The Lycian Way coastal path passes through.

Opening hours
Beach open 24/7. Ruins 08:30–19:00 (€7).
Entry fee
Free beach. €7 to the ruins (Museum Pass valid).
