Kemer is a town in Burdur Province in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. It is the seat of Kemer District.[1] Its population is 1,456 (2021).[2] Kemer, 45 km away from Burdur city center, was established at the foothills of the Rahat Mountains. The first meeting of the Turks with the settlement, which bears traces of many civilizations from ancient times to the present, was in 1082 during the reign of the Anatolian Seljuk Ruler Suleiman Shah. With the dissolution of the Anatolian Seljuk State, the region came under the rule of the Hamitoğulları Principality and then the Ottoman Empire. [3]
