Embark on a remarkable full-day adventure along Turkey’s breathtaking Mediterranean coastline with the “Demre Myra Kekova” tour, where ancient wonders, pristine waters, and enchanting coastal villages converge into one spectacular experience. Beginning from your hotel, you’ll journey along picturesque coastal roads toward Demre, the once-thriving Lycian city of Myra and the legendary home of Saint Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus. Your initial stop is the ancient site of Myra, where you’ll wander among awe-inspiring rock-hewn Lycian tombs dramatically set in the cliffs and visit the exceptionally preserved Roman theater. Surrounded by these ancient monuments, your guide will vividly narrate the intriguing tales of the Lycians and Romans, revealing the remarkable sophistication of this once-prosperous city. Following this, you’ll explore the Church of Saint Nicholas in Demre, a significant pilgrimage destination for Orthodox Christians around the globe. Here, you can admire the remnants of exquisite frescoes, the sarcophagus linked to Saint Nicholas, and the evocative interior that resonates with centuries of devotion and tradition. This moment offers a genuine connection to the origins of a beloved figure known worldwide. From Demre harbor, you’ll step aboard a comfortable boat for a serene cruise to Kekova Island, one of the most enchanting locations along the Turquoise Coast. As you glide over crystal-clear waters, you’ll observe the renowned Sunken City of Kekova through the boat’s glass bottom or from the deck, catching sight of submerged buildings, stairways, and harbor walls resting just below the surface. Given its protected designation, swimming is not permitted directly above the ruins, ensuring the preservation of this extraordinary open-air museum for future generations. Throughout the cruise, you will have opportunities to swim in tranquil bays where you can immerse yourself in the inviting turquoise sea and appreciate the serene environment. You will also glide past the scenic village of Kaleköy, steeped in history as ancient Simena, with its hilltop castle, charming stone houses, and Lycian sarcophagi creating one of the coast’s most picturesque vistas. After a day brimming with history, culture, and stunning nature, you will return to the harbor and begin your comfortable journey back to your hotel, cherishing the unforgettable memories of Demre, Myra, and Kekova—three of the Mediterranean’s most enchanting gems.
"Uau, ç'ditë! Tura ishte plot magji, fill nga ujërat kafkëlyese deri tek perëndimi në det. Historia e Likisë ka diçka vërtet magjepsëse, dhe rrënojat e lashta më çuan në qiell. Të qëndroje aty ku kanë qëndruar njerëz mijëra vjet më parë… m'u ngritën puplat! Pastaj, një shëtitje me varkë me atë diell që e bënte gjithçka të shkëlqejë ar—kjo zemra s'e harron kurrë! Edhe udhërrëfyesit, super të mirë e të gazuar për të treguar histori të këndshme. E kaluam mbresëlënës dhe u ndjeva vërtet e ringjallur. Faleminderit të gjithëve
