Kemer Kemer is a seaside resort and district of Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 40 km (25 mil) west of the city of Antalya, on the Turkish Riviera. Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km (33 mi) of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus Mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey. Tourism in Kemer One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stony 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.

  • Western Lycian Way – Group Guided
    Western Lycian Way – Group Guided Summary This Small Group Guided Itinerary cherry picks the best walks of the Western End of the Lycian Way and adds some stunning high mountain walks that will also give you the chance to meet and enjoy the company of the Nomadic Yörük people. We will walk on the coast, across grazing lands and through orchards and above the tree-line close to the snow- capped mountains (Ak Dağ) near Gömbe. This really is the best walking, history and culture that Western Lycia has to offer. The itinerary has a good deal of historical content and includes a boat trip over the sunken city of Kekova. We will also visit the three cities that at different times were the capital of the Lycian League. These are Xanthos the first capital, Patara the home of the Lycian Parliament building and Myra the bishopric of Saint Nicholas the source of much of the santa Claus legends. If nature is your “thing” then you will love the crystal blue waters where we can often see turtles in Kekova and Dalyan, the wetlands that are home to resident and migrating birds, the coast and coastal towns which host hundreds of storks and the rugged, mountainous terrain where eagles and buzzards soar. You will almost certainly find myriad lizards, the ubiquitous wild tortoises and occasional snakes. The wild flowers, particularly in spring are absolutely stunning. Turkey has over 9,000 species of flora of which 40% is endemic. If your idea of a great walking holiday is a good solid walking programme steeped in history, culture and nature, then you need look no further.

Istanbul is also gearing up to be European Capital of Culture 2010 .so; it has never been a better time to visit this magical city! Dakkak Holiday as a dominant out going tour operator in Jordan and a division of the tourism comprehensive destination management company Dakkak Group; witnesses a distinguished traffic of Jordanians who make tracks to this beautiful destination in summer mostly and the rest seasons of the year generally. Various suggested packages and lots of tailor made plans are designed every season to Istanbul, Bodrum, Antalya , Marmaris and else. Turkish coffee or Turk kahvesi is the perfect way to finish off a good meal. When ordering you specify whether you want it sade (plain), orta (with some sugar) or sekerli (very sweet) and it is brewed with the specified amount of sugar mixed in with the coffee granules. It is served in small cups. It is quite an art to know-when to stop drinking as one sip too many and you will end up with a mouthful of the sludgy residue which falls to the bottom of the cup. Even this has its uses, however, as you may find a local willing to tell your fortune from it - cover your cup with the saucer, wait until it becomes cold when you will be asked to turn it upside down, turn it around several times and then your destiny will be divined from the shapes which are formed.

    Eastern Lycian Way – Self-Guided Summary Eastern Lycia is truly a land of ancient legends. There’s the Chimera, a fire-breathing beast laid to rest where its eternal flames burn to this day. Here you will walk amongst the legends of Homer’s Iliad, through the ancient city of Olympos. A city named after the mountain that was believed to be the home of Zeus and the gods and where Bellerophon stole a thunderbolt and rode the winged horse Pegasus to slay the Chimera.

The name means three mouths and refers to the entrances into the Kekova Lagoon. The lagoon is home to a city that dates back to 400 B.C. and which, due to a massive earthquake in 144 A.D., sank and the waters rushed in to cover the vast majority of the city. The area surrounding the ancient city is dotted with remains from the Hellenic and Roman eras as well as some from early Christianity and the middle-ages. Our walks take us through a landscape that although modern by comparison has changed little for hundreds of years. Shepherds still tend their flocks and fishermen still tend their nets and life continues at a gentle pace. As well as walking you will have the chance to take a boat ride over the sunken city, to visit the hilltop castle of Simena, to swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters around the islands in the lagoon.
