Myra & Kekova + St. Nicholas Church Tour

At 8 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Kemer. We will drive through the Taurus Mountains to reach the Turkish Riviera. Our first stop will be Kekova, where we will board a boat to sail to the sunken city. This area hides the remains of an ancient Lycian city submerged by an earthquake. We will view some archaeological ruins beneath the water, including the funerary monuments of Simena.

Next, we will disembark and head to Myra, another ancient Lycian city known for its stone-carved tombs. We will visit its necropolis, Roman theater, and amphitheater. The tour will continue to the church of St. Nicholas in the nearby village of Demre, where St. Nicholas, the figure who inspired Santa Claus, is buried.

After the sightseeing, we will go to a local restaurant in Demre for a buffet lunch. Finally, we will return by bus to Kemer, dropping you off at your hotel around 5 pm.
