Demre Myra Kekova: A Journey Through History

This tour is a key destination for those interested in history and ancient cultures. Visitors are often particularly impressed by the legacy of St. Nicholas and his church. Below is an overview of the main sites included in the itinerary.

Church of St. Nicholas
This sacred monument, built in the 4th century, is dedicated to St. Nicholas, the historical figure known worldwide as Santa Claus. Inside, you can observe captivating wall paintings depicting scenes from his life while experiencing the building's historical atmosphere.

The Ancient Lycian City of Myra
Located near the Church of St. Nicholas, the ancient city of Myra was named by the Lycians and translates to "Land of the Sun." Here, you can view the ancient Lycian rock tombs that form a large necropolis, dating back to the 4th century BC.

The Ancient Amphitheater in Demre
This well-preserved Roman amphitheater is considered the fourth largest of Turkey's 206 known ancient theaters. Built in the 2nd century, it had a seating capacity of approximately 10,000 spectators.

The Sunken City of Kekova
Research indicates that Kekova Island was once connected to the mainland as a major city. Following powerful earthquakes, a significant portion of the city collapsed, with one part becoming an island. Today, this area is closed to settlement due to its historical importance. Often referred to as the "Atlantis of Turkey," the Sunken City features submerged structures visible during a yacht cruise. You will have the opportunity to view the underwater ruins through the yacht's glass sections while listening to the guide's commentary.

Simena Castle (Kaleköy)
Located opposite Kekova Island, Kaleköy Castle was constructed in the 13th century and remains remarkably well-preserved. The site is notable not only for its fortifications but also for containing a small Roman theater within its walls.
