Title: Patara Beach
Post by: phil3 on July 23, 2009, 08:13:51 AM: Hi
Can someone tell me please what the cost is to go onto Patara Beach? I believe there is also no shade but would like to know if a trip to Patara would be worthwhile. Is there a better part of the beach as we were also told that there is a fresh water lake along side the beach!
We are in Kalkan at the moment and having a braw time!
Many thanks
Phil

Patara is definitely worthwhile visiting, it was once voted one of the best beaches in Europe! it will be busy this time of year but it's such a big beach there is plenty of room to get away from the crowds, the journey to the beach is lovely to, you will see all the ruins & small theatre.

Can also recommend Kapatas beach, lots of steps to go down but the sea is lovely, not much shade there but you can get umbrellas.

Hiring an umbrella and sunlounger is allso pretty cheap, but cannot remember the exact price.

I think it is 5 tl to get into the national park - not 10 - it is 10tl to go there on the dolmus!

Enjoy!

Otherwise it's just for the day >:(
