The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stoney rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany, The Netherlands and in recent years predominantly families from Russia Many of the visitors come as part of low-cost all-inclusive package deals but |

Research shows
only that Kemer was the Lycian town of Idryos History Kemer was called Eski Köy (old village) until in 1916 - 1917, a 23 km (14 mi) long stone wall was built to channel the mountain stream water and protect the town from flooding, which until then had been a persistent problem. The name Kemer refers to those walls.

| Until the 1960s
there was no coast road and the district was accessible only by boat.
Then a road was built and from the 1980s onwards this was followed by a
great investment in infrastructure, planned by the state and funded by
the World Bank, aimed at developing a large tourist trade.Further west
again the coast becomes very indented and beautiful with many islands
and ancient sites.Kemer is a holiday resort 30 kms west of Antalya. |
