🏛 Patara Ancient City & 🏖 Patara Beach

Patara Ancient City is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in Turkey, located on the southwestern coast in the Antalya region. It was once the capital of the Lycian League, an advanced democratic union that inspired modern governments, including the U.S. Constitution. The city boasts impressive ruins such as the grand theater, the city gate, the Assembly Hall, and ancient streets lined with columns.

Just next to the ruins lies Patara Beach, a 12-kilometer stretch of golden sand — one of the longest beaches in Turkey. 🌊 It’s not only a paradise for sun and sea lovers but also an important nesting ground for Caretta Caretta (loggerhead sea turtles). Because of this, the beach is a protected natural area, offering visitors a unique combination of history and nature in one place.

Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins or relaxing by the turquoise waters, Patara offers a perfect blend of culture and natural beauty. #postandearn #patara
