We can basically take the Fethiye road to reach Patara. After arriving in Fethiye, you need to take the Gelemiş direction road without deviating from the main road and after a distance of 5-6 kilometers you can come to the place where the Patara Ruins are located. Apart from that, if you are coming from Antalya direction, you have two options, either to use the coastline, i.e. Antalya, Kemer, Phoenicia and Kas direction or to use the inner main road to come from inside Antalya. But the first option takes a little longer, both roads are about 220 km, but the coastal road is a little more winding and bumpy, so it may take a little longer.
