# One day in Kemer: an itinerary in the best order > Kemer is a small resort, and its centre takes a morning on foot: the clock tower on Republic Square, the marina with its yachts and Moonlight Park with the town beach.

They are 10–15 minutes' walk apart and free, so the morning is an easy stroll and a swim. The main sight is out of town. Phaselis, an ancient port in the pines, stands on a cape with three coves 16 km south: a street, an aqueduct and a theatre right by the water. People come for half a day — the site with a swim. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate. ## How to get from Kemer to Phaselis By taxi, about 20–25 minutes. By dolmuş, towards Tekirova to the Phaselis turn-off, then on foot along a forest road. For the way back, agree with a taxi driver in advance or walk out to the main road. ## Where to have lunch Lunch in the plan comes after Moonlight Park: cafés by the marina and on the beach. There are almost no cafés at Phaselis — take water and a snack. ## What else to see near Kemer [Göynük Canyon](https://yesgo.io/turkey/kemer/goynuk-canyon) — a turquoise river in a gorge 12–15 km north, with canyon safaris.
