The Patara Collection
Set in the next cove along from Patara Beach, The Patara Collection combines locally sourced stone, private infinity pools and open sea views. It is a peaceful coastal base for exploring ancient Patara, visiting nearby beaches and spending time by the water.
- Sea views
- Mediterranean outlook
- 5–10 min
- Walk to a small local beach
- Patara Beach
- Drive via Gelemiş
- Private pool
- South-facing infinity pool
The villas are built with locally sourced stone, with exposed limestone walls both inside and outside. Ceramic finishes complement the natural stone, giving the interiors a simple, cohesive character.
Large doors connect the living spaces with the outdoor terraces. Each villa has a south-facing infinity pool overlooking the Mediterranean, with sunset views and an open outlook towards the sea.
The collection occupies a separate cove from Patara Beach. A small local beach is approximately five to ten minutes away on foot, and there are rocks along the shoreline below the villas where you can sit and enjoy the surroundings.
Reaching Patara Beach on foot involves a demanding hike over the headland, which can be particularly challenging in summer heat. For most guests, driving is the more practical option: the route returns to the main road before turning towards Gelemiş and the entrance to Patara’s archaeological site and beach.
Ancient Patara makes a rewarding outing, with its restored assembly building, theatre and extensive ruins. Further afield, Letoon is around 25 minutes away by car. Kalkan’s harbour and restaurants are approximately 20 minutes away, while Kaputaş Beach is around 20–25 minutes away. Journey times are approximate and depend on traffic and road conditions.
Patara Beach is also an important nesting habitat for loggerhead turtles. When visiting, please follow the protection rules and respect any restricted areas.

Privacy and Setting
The villas face towards the Mediterranean, with no buildings in front of them and no overlooking structures. Wooden fencing separates neighbouring villas and provides screening between their outdoor spaces.
Mature olive trees grow behind and to one side of the collection, while the pool terraces look out towards the sea. The setting offers a clear coastal outlook, with the privacy fencing providing separation between neighbouring properties.
Explore Ancient Patara
Spend time among the streets, theatre and assembly building of one of ancient Lycia’s most important cities. A visit can be combined with time on Patara Beach, allowing a full day to explore both the archaeological site and the coast.
Sunset Horse Riding
A guided horse ride along Patara Beach offers a different way to experience the coastline as the day cools. Ask about available rides and choose an outing suited to your riding experience.
Walk to Delikemer
Discover the Roman aqueduct at Delikemer, where an ingenious stone siphon once carried water across the landscape. It is a fascinating landmark on a Lycian Way walk, with routes that can be planned around the weather and your walking ability.
A Personal Note
What I value most about The Patara Collection is its position: the sea in front, a small beach nearby and ancient Patara within reach for a day out. It is somewhere to enjoy the coast at your own pace, whether that means exploring or simply spending the afternoon beside the pool.
