Patara welcomes visitors after dark
The ancient city of Patara in the Mediterranean province of Antalya’s Kaş district, a site renowned for its natural beauty and historical significance, is once again drawing visitors under the Culture and Tourism Ministry’s “Night Museum” initiative.
The new season of night visits has begun with both domestic and foreign tourists exploring the ancient city after sunset.
As part of the program, Patara has been illuminated once again this year, allowing visitors to experience the site during evening hours. The ancient city’s monuments and pathways have been lit up, offering a different perspective on the historic settlement.
Meanwhile, restoration work on the Patara Lighthouse, originally commissioned by Roman Emperor Nero and later destroyed by a natural disaster, has been completed after five years.
