Turkey is famous for its coastal hotel complexes with an "all inclusive" feature. And usually you will find such civilized, clean, tidy beaches with rows of sunbeds and piers.
But did you know that rescuers at a reasonable price can take you to the wild shores, hidden behind the mountain. This is not well known, so we can say we have discovered America.
However, there are limitations in the capacity of the boat, so if you have a large company, such as ours, will have to be divided into two measures.
And another nuance, it turns out to drive on the waves on a boat, is not as cool and smooth as I imagined because of my pink glasses.
If the driver ruthlessly squeezes the accelerator pedal, your ass can be pushed so well. And as a bonus contrast shower from the spray. But for that on the way you can meet a pirate ship.
And if you manage to resist this element, you will be able to see out of the corner of your eye the landscapes of wild hanging shores.
I took a few shots and here we are. Wow, a real pine forest right above the shore with turquoise water.Paradise, but not without cons, the water was cold and the bottom with large stones.
In fact, this place is a very popular place and there are always people, but here you can really feel the wildness of the forest bays, not the boring beaches of the hotel.
Hundreds of tourists come here every day, but in standard ways: through a tour of the hotel, which is usually not cheaper than $500, or on your own by bus.
It cost us $100 in both directions. That's what it means - professional cheats. And here we are among the heavenly landscapes of the Turkish Gulf.
The bays here are called so-called ports. In the ancient city of Phaselis there are three - North, Central and South.
As you enter the ancient city in your vehicle, the North Port awaits you, then the Central Port, and finally the South Port. We walked long enough along the shores of the turquoise lagoon.
There were no sunbeds or umbrellas on any of the beaches in the bay. However, thanks to the forest, you are protected from the sun by the shade of trees.
The central port of Phaselis Merkez Liman Plajı is located right in the middle. The bay is evenly surrounded on two sides by pine trees and thanks to this a cozy lounge area is created here, the favorite place of tourists and the most popular.
Here is the widest civilized wooded area in which it is very comfortable to walk and people like to have picnics here.
Due to its geographical structure, the Central Port is positioned as a natural basin. Thanks to this feature, it stays away from the current, which makes the water warmer than average.
The sea water here is also clear and transparent, but the land is rocky in some places. Coastal features and shallow waters are a great advantage, especially for families with children.
After a long walk through the ruins of the city, we reach the South Port of Phaselis Güney Liman Plaji. On this beach there are cabins for changing rooms, showers and more.
This beach, which is the furthest from the entrance to the ancient city of Phaselis, is sandy and rocky in places.
This beach seemed to me the largest, although some claim that the largest is the North Port of Phaselis Kuzey Liman Plajı.
Its wide expanses overlook the most popular mountain of Kemer - Takhtal.
The water here is clear, but in my opinion due to the large number of stones is not as comfortable for swimming as in the North Port, for me it seemed the most suitable for taking a relaxing bath.
And again we return to the place where we moored - Phaselis Kuzey Liman Plajı. It is truly the quietest and most peaceful recreation area.
The stones here are mostly large and serve more as fun entertainment: you can jump on them like pieces of land for respite.
Also from this beach you can climb into the woods and wander the hills of the more abandoned side of the ancient city.
