The Ancient City Phaselis

The Ancient City Phaselis, which is located on the Bey Mountains Olympus National Park, among pine and cedar woods, is situated 16 km western of Kemer. With its three harbours, Phaselis used to have an important function in ancient times. With its shallow and stagnant waters and the fine sand, Phaselis has a unique beauty. There are aquaducts, agoras, bath, theatres, necropolis, acropolis and a museum in the city, reflecting the period from early ages to the Roman era. The saying is, that 690 B.C. colonists from Argos have founded the city.
