About Seydikemer:
Reflecting the beauties of Muğla province, sea, sand, nature, history, culture, thermal springs… Seydikemer district, which is full of natural and historical riches in four seasons, was previously a neighborhood of Seydiler village, but in 1946 it gained the identity of an independent village called Kemer. In addition, Kemer gained its municipal organization in 1996, and on 12 November 2012, with the law passed by the Turkish Grand National Assembly, it was separated from Fethiye district and named Seydikemer and became one of the districts of Muğla province. According to 2022 data, the population of Seydikemer district is announced as 62,622. Seydikemer is one of the rare regions in the world where life has continued uninterrupted from unknown times to the present day. Seydikemer has been under the influence of different civilizations throughout history and therefore has a rich historical heritage. Seydikemer offers an unforgettable experience to its visitors with its unique geographical structure, historical heritage and natural beauties.
Where did Seydikemer get its name?
The name of the district was born from the combination of the words “Seyit”, which means “descendant of the prophet” in the word “Seydiler”, and “Kemer”, which was inspired by the arch of the historical bridge connecting the two sides of the town and has been the name of the town for years.
In this article, we will give you information about Seydikemer and talk about its natural beauties, touristic attractions, historical heritage and local delicacies.
Historical Heritage:
The ancient cities and ruins in Seydikemer bear the traces of the past. Among these, Tlos, one of the most important settlements of Lycia, Letoon, which is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, Pınara ancient city with more than 900 rock tombs, Araxa waiting to be unearthed, and the Lycian road reaching all the way to Antalya are among the important historical places of Seydikemer.
Natural Beauties:
Although the 120 km long Eşen Stream, which passes through the middle of Seydikemer and adds a unique natural beauty to the district, seems to divide the city into two, it actually provides unique benefits to Seydikemer. This tea is used to irrigate the lands in the Seydikemer region and is also suitable for water sports such as rafting and canoeing. One of the most important features of Eşen Stream is that it meets the drinking water needs of Seydikemer and Fethiye districts. In addition to the eye of the Ören Stream and the Karanlik İçi Canyon creating natural areas for picnic tourism, dozens of trout facilities located at the source of the Ören Stream contribute to the country’s economy.
Touristic Attractions:
The world-famous Saklıkent Canyon is undoubtedly one of the tourism centers of the district. The length of Saklıkent Canyon is approximately 18 km, and its height varies between 200 meters and 600 meters on average. With its ice-cold water, natural pools and fascinating atmosphere, Saklıkent Canyon is the center of attention of hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Karadere and Kumluova Beach are the names of the world-famous Patara Beach within the borders of Muğla. These two beaches are also known as Özlen Beach and Çay Ağzı Beach among the public. The reason for this is that on both beaches, a small stream coming from the interior and Eşen Stream meets the sea at the starting point of the beach. Those swimming on these beaches can feel the warm sea water and the icy river water at the same time. Girmeler Thermal Spring in the district, where there are large and small thermal springs, hosts thousands of local and foreign tourists every year. The old name of Girmeler is Gebeler. It got this name because it was believed to be a cure for women who could not get pregnant. It is said that the spa, which constantly renews its own water, is good for skin diseases as well as rheumatic diseases.
