10 km after Kalkan, Patara can boast, in addition to its Lycian vestiges, to have the longest beach of the country. At the time of the greatness of Xanthos, Patara is the largest port of Lycia. Famous for its oracle of Apollo, it was also a naval base during the wars led by the successors of Alexander. Not so long ago, the area was very popular with hippie travelers but their attendance has dropped. In the valley, despite the prohibitions linked to the protected area, the hotel offer has strongly developed. Some establishments are therefore threatened with closure. Daily bus to Kalkan and Fethiye.
