Demre Tour, Myra Tour, Kekova Tour from Belek.⛵️⚓️💒

The Demre Tour, Myra Tour and Kekova Tour from Belek is a full cultural day trip along the ancient Lycian coast west of Antalya. You visit the historic church in Demre where St Nicholas, the saint behind the Santa Claus legend, once served as bishop, explore the impressive theatre and rock-cut tombs of ancient Myra, and then board a boat for a memorable cruise around Kekova Island and the Sunken City.

Myra was one of the most important cities of the Lycian League, and its tombs carved into the cliff face still amaze visitors today. Decorated to look like temple facades, they are among the finest examples of Lycian architecture. The large theatre next to them gives a vivid picture of social life in antiquity. Your guide explains the history of the region, the story of St Nicholas and the Lycian civilisation in an engaging way.

At Kekova you can see the remains of a settlement that slipped beneath the sea after ancient earthquakes, clearly visible from the boat through the crystal-clear water. The views around Simena and Kaleköy, with turquoise sea and ruins along the shore, are pure postcard material.
