The name, Kemer, comes from the stone walls which were built to protect the town from damage when the mountain river flooded. Originally the town was only accessible by boat but in the 1960s a road was built, connecting the town to the region's capital, Antalya as well as other major seaside towns. The major project was sponsored by the World Bank. Since then Kemer has become popular among holidaymakers and boasts a fantastic tourist infrastructure.
