The International Festival of Sand Sculptures is based just outside Pêra. These are not the amateur offerings of the beach, but incredible sculptures on major themes. The theme for 2007 was ’Wonders of the World’ and the pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Olympian statue of Zeus, Artemis’s Temple at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Lighthouse at Alexandria were all depicted, along with many other exhibits such as a celebration of the genius of da Vinci with sand-based versions of the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. Parking, restaurants and bars are available.
