Things to do in January
- In a month when the water is cool for swimming, plan a seaside walk at Kemer Municipal Beach and Ayışığı Bay.
- Near the shore of Ayışığı Bay, visit Idyros for its Byzantine walls and the remains of a church with a mosaic floor. Choose a day without rain for this open-air site.
- For a separate trip outside central Kemer, consider Phaselis with its three harbours, main street, agora, baths and theatre. Set aside a rain-free day for the open-air areas.
- Keep Kemer Culture House in the former gendarmerie building for a rainy day. Historical photographs, documents and household objects introduce the town and local culture.
