Patara Beach: Rated as the best beach in
the world by The Sunday Times. The Beach is 14.2 km's/9miles
long (the longest beach in the Mediterranean). It is a very child-friendly
shore - medium grain brown sand - backed only by ancient ruins and
swooping dunes - with no buildings visible save a small cafe at
one end. Loungers and umbrellas available for rent. There are day
trips by inexpensive Dolmus.
Kaputas Beach: Kaputas is a mountain gorge with
a small shingle cove beach under a bridge crossing the gorge, with
a steep set of steps up/down to the beach and a steep drop off into
the clear blue sea. It's a 10 minute dolmus [bus] ride from Kalkan.
