Kemer - Tourist Resort
Kemer is a heavily developed tourist resort SW of Antalya along the coast. Set in a curving stretch of coastline, it has a picturesque setting along beautiful beaches backed by grey rocky mountains covered in thick green vegetation and shrouded often in mist. It has plenty of good facilities, hotels, places to eat, etc. There is a great national park, Olimpos Milli Parki right next to it, with ruins and natural sites to see.
However, the town has become over-developed for the vacationing-resort-oriented tourist industry and overrun with beach-and-party-going vacationers, most from Europe and Russia. Many of these visitors seem to have little interest in experiencing Turkey's culture or other qualities, or even those of the region itself, and are the type who just come to party and havng out at beaches. Many are loud, raucous, and obnoxious.
