The Church of St Nicholas in Demre, the Lycian tombs carved into the cliff at ancient Myra, and a boat trip over the sunken city of Kekova, where walls and staircases show through the clear water. Three eras of the Lycian coast in a single day.

Languages: Russian, English, Turkish, German, Ukrainian

Swimming in the bay depends on the season and the weather.

How it works

The drive from Antalya along the coast to Demre takes about 2.5 hours. We visit the Church of St Nicholas (the very same St Nicholas), then the rock necropolis and amphitheatre of ancient Myra, with rows of house-shaped Lycian tombs cut into the sheer cliff. After lunch we board a boat and sail over Kekova: above the sunken city the water is so clear that you can see foundations and steps leading underwater. A stop at Simena fortress and a swim in the bay.

★★★★★
The Church of St Nicholas gave me goosebumps. The Lycian tombs in the cliff at Myra look unreal. Over Kekova you can see the sunken walls right through the water — wow.

A full programme and a knowledgeable guide. Our boat turned out not to have a glass bottom, though we had hoped — so check in advance. The swim was short.
