Myra: The ancient Lycian city

The ancient city of Myra is not far from the Church of St Nicholas and this historic place was named by the Lycians and it means 'land of the sun'.

Here you can visit the ancient Lycian tombs, a kind of necropolis, and enjoy the atmosphere of antiquity. These tombs date back to the 4th century BC.

The ancient amphitheatre of Demre

Today, there are 206 ancient theatres in Turkey that were built during the reign of the Roman Empire.

Demre Amphitheatre is the fourth largest of these famous theatres. It was built in the 2nd century with a capacity of 10000 people!

Demre & Kekova The Sunken City and Kekova Boat Trip

In ancient times Kekova Island was part of the mainland and a large city. However, due to strong earthquakes, a large part of the city sank and the second part of the city became an island. Today, this place is isolated from civilisation and no one lives here because of its historical significance - it is an ancient site. And this island is one of the most picturesque and famous places in Turkey that resembles Atlantis.

One of the most exciting parts of the Sunken City Tour will surely be sailing on the surface of the sunken ancient city of Kekova; however, if you think there cannot be anything better than this, we must proudly say that there is: The boat you will board has a glass bottom so that you can see everything!

In other words, you will not miss a single centimetre of the unique sight of the turquoise sea and the ancient ruins. On the other hand, if you want to observe nature and sunbathe at the same time, you can do so on the upper deck. Both ways,
