DEMRE, MYRA, ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH & KEKOVA ISLAND
(Combination of Bus & Yacht Tour)
This is one of the most popular tours among our programmes, which lasts full day. This fascinating tour enable the clients to visit the ancient history while relaxing and sunbathing during the yacht tour to sunken Islands. Along the northern shore of Islands, structural movement over the years have caused some of the ancient houses to be totally submerged, while remains of the others are scattered along the coastline. During the cruise by yacht, the fascinating Lycian Necropolis, chest type tombs and the ruins of ancient houses will be seen in distance, even underwater. The finest examples of Lycian funerary architecture are to be found at Myra, near the expanding present day town Demre. Beside all these, the Church of St. Nicholas, who was the patron saint of children is situated in the heart of little town Demre. Enjoy this splendid full day tour in combination with bus and yacht.
MYRA

Originally a coastal city the gradual build up of silt from the Demre stream has left it stranded several miles away from the sea. Myra was abandoned after the Arab invasions in the 9th century A.D. The rock tombs and amphitheatre are worth to visit.
