Tour Detail
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.

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
Absolutely breathtakin experience! The day we spent there was like somethin outta a dream. Standin on those pristine beaches, watchin the sunset paintin the sky all shades of pink and orange - seriously, just wow. And then explorin the ancient ruins, it felt like takin a step back in time, surrounded by history and those incredible archs. Cruisin on the boat, with the ocean breeze and the magnificent views was jus perfect. Our guide was super kind, making us feel right at home while sharing endless knowledge. Can't remember the last time I had a day so relaxin and eye-openin.
Wow, what an amazzzzing tour! Seriously breathtaking, made feel like I'm living inside a postcard. Starting from the beautiful crystal-clear waters with dazzling fish around every corner – truely feels like paradise. Ancient ruins were soooo fascinating, like walking back in time; could've stayed there for hours. Also got to witness such an awe-inspiring sunset over the bluest waters – total magic! The team were so warm n' informative, shared some hilarious stories along the trip which made it even more special. Already recommending to all my friends back home!
OMG!! I cant believe the amazing adventure I had with this tour. Seeing those Lycian ruines was like stepping into another time!! I felt such a deep connection with history and culture there, very captivating. The boat trip was beautiful...the water's color was unbelievable, like something from a movie and being on the water at sunset was peaceful beyond words, just gorgeous. The guides were really kind, always making sure we understood all stories behind these ancient wonders. Such a treasure of a trip, truly it stole my heart. Would 10/10 recomend!!
Bio sam na izletu koji se nikad ne zaboravlja! Hodati kroz stare ruševine bilo je kao putovanje u prošlost, usred odjeka povijesti. Zalasci sunca – savršeni! Nebo se obojalo u nijanse koje ne možeš ni zamisliti. Plutati u toliko čistoj vodi bila je čista harmonija, nisam htio da ikad prestane. Vodič je bio tako ljubazan i pun znanja, sve je bilo osobno i zanimljivo. Ne mogu dočekati da ponovim! Toliko prekrasnih uspomena
