Patara

The Patara Beach, situated 75 km south of Fethiye, is undoubtedly the crème la crème of the Turkish beaches. It is a secluded beach, ideal for the solitude seekers and those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The beach will remain this way for the proximity of the Patara archaeological ruin places restrictions on the construction of edifices, which in turn would keep encroachments of urban civilization at bay. This sandy strip, running for 20 km has another claim to fame as the birthplace of Santa Claus. Patara beach has recently been voted the best beach in the world. So, if you desire to engage in little bit of soul-searching while lounging on the soft sands, with the sound of the waves lapping on the shore and not a soul in sight, then Patara Beach is the place to head.
