Active travelers always combine beach holidays with educational trips. Choosing where to go from Kemer, tourists pay attention to rafting on mountain rivers, and to jeep walks, and on excursions to jewelry factories or enterprises where magnificent clothes and leather accessories are sewn. But among the destinations for educational tourism are invariably:
- Pamukkale with its thermal mineral springs and pools.
- Cappadocia with quaint mountain landscapes and underground cities.
- Antique Myra with an ancient Roman amphitheater and tombs carved into the rocks.
All trips are quite intense, and therefore a one-day program may seem quite tedious. It is best to plan an overnight stay at the destination for each of these excursions.

This is how the name Pamukkale is translated - an accumulation of unique thermal springs, whose waters are rich in calcium salts and can treat a whole range of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Seventeen springs and terraces made of travertine calcareous tuff form quaint ponds, bathing in which has healed people since ancient times. For modern tourists, a dive into the Cleopatra pool in the ancient city of Hierapolis is offered (admission price for August 2015 is about $ 13).
In addition to pleasant water procedures, an excursion to Pamukkale will give pleasure from contemplating historical and architectural sights. Tourists are introduced to the ruins of Aphrodisias, the country's largest necropolis, amphitheater and temple of Apollo. Even the museum exposition is located here in the antique building of the ancient Roman baths, built in the II century BC.
You can go to Pamukkale on your own by car or by plane. The airport is located in the city of Denizli, but there are no direct flights from Kemer. The best option is to buy an excursion for one or two days. The cost will be from $ 50 and $ 90, respectively.

Another popular excursion among tourists from Russia is a trip to Demre and Mira. When choosing where to go from Kemer, pay attention to the richness of its program and interesting places that you can visit in one day.
In the travel agencies of Kemer, such a trip will cost from $ 30 and all travelers will see the Andriake harbor, where the Apostle Paul arrived before leaving for Rome, the temple of St. Nicholas, founded in the IV century, and the ancient city of Miru.
Myra of Lycian, five kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, was once a thriving city, as evidenced by a huge amphitheater and rock-cut tombs and pavilions. In the 3rd century BC. it served as the capital of Lycia and even minted its own coins.
For sports and active
Fans of extreme entertainment prefer rafting in Beshkonak, a canyon formed by a turbulent mountain river. Such rafting is organized by numerous travel agencies in Kemer. The price of the issue is from $ 50.
