Briefly on the history of Tekirova.

For a long time Tekirova was a small fishing village with a small population. And geographically the area belonged to Kemer. Since 1910, when Kemer acquired the status of a city, much has changed in these places. Foreign subsidies gave the most powerful breakthrough for the formation of the resort industry. The influx of tourists began.

The main difficulty for the area at that time was mudslides. Mud flows came down from the mountains and destroyed everything around. A concrete wall built between 1910 and 1917 put the brakes on these misfortunes. This became another basis for the transformation of Tekirova into the most popular resort center. In the 60s of the last century this area became a significant tourist area. Here were built highways of national importance, which united the town with Antalya and other cities of the coast.
