Ortakent lies about 53km from the airport and is famous for the attractive 17th century 'tower houses' unique to the area.

Between the town and the beach lies a green, fertile valley with fig, olive and mandarin trees. The very large beach is popular with families, although the water rapidly becomes quite deep. There are several beach side cafes providing inexpensive meals and snacks throughout the day.

Nearby is Camel Beach which is popular with families and boats doing daily tours. The boats frequently call at this beautiful beach where visitors enjoy not only this sandy beach, watersports but also camel rides.
