Patara antika stad var hem för världens första demokratiska råd, det lykiska förbundet. Det etablerades av anatoliska samhällen som huvudsakligen levde på Teke-halvön i sydvästra Anatolien, inom provinserna Antalya och Mugla i Republiken Turkiet. Det lykiska förbundet var en federal stat som styrdes av demokrati, vilket tydligt inspirerade Förenta staternas konstitution enligt artiklar av Alexander Hamilton och James Hamilton. Eftersom Patara låg vid en lättillgänglig men väl skyddad hamn, förtjänade staden att vara värd för det lykiska förbundets råd. Patara är mycket viktigt inom kristendomen eftersom Paulus från Tarsus och Lukas bytte skepp i Pataras hamn. Dessutom föddes jultomten i Patara den 15 mars 270.

Var ligger Patara antika stad?

Patara antika stad ligger inom gränserna för Antalya-provinsen. Provinsens gränser slutar vid Pataras strand. Som ett resultat är Pataras antika stad närmare Dalaman flygplats i Mugla-provinsen. Det tar bara en och en halv timme att ta sig till Patara antika stad från Dalaman flygplats, medan det tar lite mer än tre timmar att ta sig till Antalya flygplats från Patara. Eftersom staden ligger mellan populära turistdestinationer som Fethiye och Kaş, bör Pataras antika stad finnas med på din lista över självkörningsturer längs Turkiets medelhavskust. Det tar en timme från både Kaş och Fethiye att nå Patara, så du kan enkelt stanna till vid den antika staden medan du kör från en av dessa städer till den andra.

Pataras historia

Patara grundades av luvitalande indoeuropeiska samhällen som levde i Anatolien. Området kallades Patar av hettiterna och Patara på det lykiska språket. Spåren av civilisationen går tillbaka till 700-talet f.Kr. Patara ligger vid Medelhavet och var exportplatsen för sitt inland. De södra och norra territorierna var bergiga, vilket gav Patara en mycket fördelaktig position bland sina konkurrenter. Patara blev huvudstad i det lykiska förbundet, som etablerades av stadsstaterna i sydvästra Anatolien och som överlevde fram till den romerska eran. Romarna gav först självständighet till det lykiska förbundet och drog nytta av Pataras enorma silos, som försåg de livliga romerska städerna. Patara drabbades av arabiska invasioner, men naturen var ännu grymmare mot staden eftersom sanden fyllde hamnen och staden. En jordbävning ödelade staden och den återhämtade sig aldrig. Pataras monument begravdes långsamt av sanden, som idag har blivit den världsberömda Patara-stranden. Tack vare de välbevarade monumenten, vackra stränderna och sanddynerna är Patara en underbar destination som väntar på att bli upptäckt.
