Finike is a large industrial town 30 miles east of Kas and 45 miles SW of Kemer. It is the closest harbour to the east of the lovely cruising grounds of Kekova Roads. A 350-berth marina at Finike is operated by the Setur company. While the town is not especially picturesque or touristy, the municipality has made a considerable effort in recent years to beautify the town, with some lovely parks shaded with palm and fig trees and a mile long palm-fringed promenade extending along the beach east of the marina. Also, there are good cafes and restaurants near the marina, an ATM immediately opposite the entrance and a good supermarket about one kilometer east along the coast road.

Tourism and Things to do Ashore
Tourism
Finike is a pleasant though not picturesque town, with leafy parks along the front and a shady riverside walk going inland. Near the town is Lymyra with a Roman theater, on the left of the road, and the ruins of the bishopric palace and the cenotaph of Gaius are to the right in a marshy area, surrounded by green. Other places are the same as in Kas and Antalya.

Personal Notes
A daily SE seabreeze gets up around 1100 and blows until around 1700. It can reach 20 knots at times, especially in early to mid afternoon. Although the marina staff will assist, berthing requires care if arriving at these times --Athene of Lymington 14:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC). Template:Guide2
