Tekirova: Discover the Jewel of Antalya
Tekirova, located to the west of Antalya, is a stunning resort town known for its breathtaking natural beauty. The history of Tekirova dates back to the Lycian civilization. In ancient times, the area was associated with the ancient city of Phaselis, one of the significant settlements of Lycia. Phaselis was founded in the 7th century BC by colonists from Rhodes and became a major trade center in the region. Its three harbors made it a strategic location for Mediterranean trade.
Phaselis continued to be an important port city during the Roman Empire. The city flourished and became wealthy during Roman times, leaving behind ruins such as a theater, baths, aqueducts, and agoras. However, the importance of Phaselis declined during the Byzantine period, and the city was gradually abandoned. Today, Phaselis stands as one of Tekirova’s most significant historical treasures, attracting numerous tourists.
Tekirova’s modern history began during the Turkish Republic era. After the proclamation of the Republic, Turkish families settled in the area, gradually transforming the village into the thriving tourist destination it is today. Tekirova is now famous for its luxury hotels, beautiful beaches, and natural parks. As part of the Olympos Beydağları Coastal National Park, Tekirova is an ideal destination for nature walks, diving, and other outdoor activities.
