Ancient City of Myra

One of the most important stops on the tour, the Ancient City of Myra, is known as one of the largest and most important cities of the Lycian League. Today located in Demre district, this historic city has gained worldwide fame especially for its rock tombs carved into the cliffs and its Roman-era theater.

The ancient theater has been preserved quite well to the present day with a capacity of approximately 10,000 people. On the guided tour, you will have the opportunity to gain comprehensive information about the theater's architecture, life in the Lycian period, and the history of the ancient city.

Lycian Rock Tombs

One of Myra's most striking structures is the magnificent Lycian Rock Tombs, carved into high cliffs. These tombs, with a history of about 2,500 years, provide important information about the belief system and architectural understanding of the period.

The columns, reliefs, and burial chambers carved into the rocks practically take history enthusiasts visiting the region back in time. Today, this area, considered among Turkey's best-preserved Lycian rock tombs, is also one of the points that attract the most interest from photography lovers.

St. Nicholas (Santa Claus) Church

As a result of major earthquakes that occurred around the 2nd century, the remains of the ancient settlement that lay below sea level can be seen from the boat.
