Tour Highlights :

Demre (Myra):

Located 140 km from Antalya, Demre is a small district named after the nearby river. Established in the 5th century BC, Demre was a crucial city in ancient Lycia and holds significant importance for Christianity as the home and final resting place of St. Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus.

Myra Ancient City:

Just 2 km from Demre town center, Myra features an ancient Greek amphitheater with a capacity of 11,000 and impressive rock-cut tombs of the Lycian necropolis.

Church of St. Nicholas:

Located 3 km west of Demre town, this church is dedicated to St. Nicholas, the bishop of Myra who inspired the legend of Santa Claus.

Kekova Island and Sunken City:

Situated 4 km west of Demre harbor, this rocky island covers 4.5 km² and is uninhabited. An earthquake in the 2nd century AD submerged parts of Kekova, creating the fascinating Sunken City. The best way to explore this underwater wonder is by boat, which we provide as part of the tour.
