Patara Beach, Kas Overview
Patara Beach, located west of Kalkan town, is a beautiful white sand beach which brings together scenic Mediterranean waters and Turkish history. It is popular for sunset views, walking, swimming and surfing. Loggerhead turtles have been laying eggs here for over 40 million years now and can be spotted at the beach.
Reputed to be the birthplace of Santa Claus, the beach is not heavily commercialised unlike most beaches in Turkey because it is located near historic ruins - a sand-swept theatre, a triple-arched triumphal gate, and a necropolis, among others. The beach has white sand dunes that resemble the desert and wetlands and a river beyond the beach.
