Kemer is a town on the Mediterranean coast, 40 kilometers from Antalya. While it was a small village until the early 1980s, it has become one of the most important centers of Turkish tourism with the facilities opened in the last 20 years.

West Taurus Mountains and 52 kilometers along the coast of Kemer, is one of Turkey’s most important tourism centers. In the place where Kemer is located today, there was a settlement known as the Old Village in the 1910s and consisting of lakes and marshes as a result of the floods from the mountains. The people of the Old Village built a 23 km long stone wall on the slopes of the mountains to protect themselves from these floods. Later, because of this wall, they will call their village Kemer.
