Discover Kemer on Your Own Terms: Car Rental Guide and Tips
Kemer arose on the site of a small Turkish village located near the Taurus Mountains, and the name is translated from Turkish as "belt". The villagers were forced to build a wall encircling the mountain in order to save their homes from regularly descending mudflows, and this wall gave the city its name.
By the last decade of the 20th century, the city gradually turned into one of the resort towns of the Turkish Riviera. The city has a mild Mediterranean climate, and the salty smells of the sea mix with notes of citrus groves and aromas of numerous islands of coniferous trees.
