One of the most beautiful beaches in Turkey and voted one of the world’s best beach in a Sunday Times survey is Patara beach, 18 kilometres of golden sand, which you can reach it by car, 25 minutes or by bus and taxi. There is an entrance fee of around £1. The beach’s facilities offer hire of sun beds and umbrellas, toilets and a small café. It is set amongst a protected historical site and is well worth the visit. It is easy to swim from, but it’s best visited on a day it’s not so windy.
