Patara Ancient City

Patara later renamed Arsinoe (Ἀρσινόη), was a flourishing maritime and commercial city on the south-west coast of Turkey near the modern small town of Gelemiş, in Antalya Province. It is the birthplace of St. Nicholas in 270 AD, who lived most of his life in the nearby town of Myra (Demre).Patara is a timeless city that integrates the pleasure of the sea, with the sun and its sandy beach, and where you will admire the meeting of nature with civilization. If you are able to part from the vast beach and sea, then time travel is waiting for you in the ancient city across a wide area. You will hardly notice how 48 hours pass in Patara, where you will be able to relax in the various accommodations and restaurants.
