hello, just back from hols. and went to patara on the dolmus from fethiye. got off after kinak and ova with 6 kms. to walk.
There are road works being undetaken at the drop off point on D400.
After breakfast in Patara (turkish mmmm) we walked on to the beach.
Wow was i taken aback by the ruins Lycian, Greek, Roman. This place is a hidden treasure of antiquity and I will be researching its past history. Then you hit the beach! 12 kms long and most people use the first 1 km next to the cafe/showers/tiolets after that nothing but sea and sand. Most enjoyable, but beware of strong currents west to east.This is really a great treasure of this area, and we hope to return again and again.
nb take your rubbish back with you! lets not spoil this beautiful place.
