Settlements, natural- historical and cultural heritage en route:

Tekirova: 17 kms far to Olympus, Tekirova is situated on the slopes of Beydağları of Taurus Mountains. The town has is a popular tourist spot with its 5 kms long beach and interesting ecological values.
Phaselis: On the road from Antalya to Çıralı - Olimpos, at about 12 km from Kemer and near the resort of Tekirova are the remains ancient Phaselis (Faselis), a ruined Lycian city magnificently situated on a peninsula around three small bays. The ruins are not particularly exciting and are all from Roman and Byzantine times, but the combination of ancient remains within a forest that is surrounded by sea on three sides makes it a beautiful national park. The Roman aqueduct is the first and most obvious landmark of the site. It is supposed to have beenone of the longest such conduits of antiquity. Phaselis is located around three small bays that served as harbours in antiquity and now form excellent swimming spots with nice beaches. The Roman theatre dates from the second century and could hold around 1500 people.
Gedelme: Gedelme Village is on 12 kms route from Kemer town of Antalya to Kuzdere Village and Kesme Boğaz. Remains of a Byzantium Fortress and a cave arequite close to the centuries old Plain Trees area of the village.
Göynük: GÖYNÜK is a plain in semicircular form extending from Beldibi to Kemer. With its fine sandy bay at the entrance of Kemer, is one of the daily resorts. The name Göynük is Gökbük in the Luwian/Etruscan language meaning “Fertile plain on the bank of a river at the joining point of the blue sky/blue”. In ancient times the valley of Göynük creek always had an important position, therefore it remained under the control of the plunderers of Pisidia.In Göynük; canyon road opens to Üç Oluk Plateau following Lycian Way along the mountains following Göynük stream dividing Göynük from Beldibi.
Elmayanı Yaylası: Starting and ending point of Lycian Way, welcoming you with century old plain trees at the end of Göynük Canyon.
Hisarçandır: Çandır is Turkish name of the area. Hisar is meaning of “fortress”. It is called Hisarçandır probably because of remains of ancient city walls right top of the rocks. TV and radio reflectors are placed on the near hilltop of the village. Therefore, the village is also recognised with these TV and radio reflectors.
