Located between the Bey Mountains and the forests of Olympos National Park, this ancient Lycian city is famous with the sun-seekers for its clear blue waters and sandy beaches.
Phaselis has three harbours - the Northern Harbour, the Battle Harbour, and the Protected (Sun) Harbour which made the area into a popular stopping off point for yachts.
Phaselis and the other ancient towns around the shore can also be easily accessed from the sea by daily yacht tours.
The remains that can still be seen in some areas within Phaselis are the scattered ruins of old public places such as the Roman baths, agoras, aqueducts, theaters and an acropolis.
There are also ruins of shops and stores scattered along the sides of the 24-metre-wide ancient street (see photo above) which runs through the middle of the city.
