Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Alanya

🏛️ Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Alanya – Where History Meets Nature
This tour from Alanya offers an unforgettable experience for those wanting to discover Turkey's rich history, unique culture and enchanting nature. From the traces of the ancient Lycian civilisation to one of Christianity's most sacred structures, from a sunken ancient city to magnificent Mediterranean scenery, this tour lets you experience history and nature together in a single day.
 
🏺 Myra Ancient City
One of the tour's most impressive stops, Myra Ancient City was one of the most important cities of the Lycian civilisation. The magnificent Lycian Rock Tombs carved into the cliffs carry traces of thousands of years of craftsmanship and belief. Roman-era theatre and bath remains reveal the city's grand past. Your guide will explain the historical significance of each structure during the walk.
 
⛪ Demre – Church of Saint Nicholas
Demre, where Saint Nicholas — known to the Christian world as Santa Claus — lived and preached, is an extremely important centre for religious history. You will tour the historic church, examine its sarcophagi and frescoes, and receive detailed information from your guide about the deep significance this sacred structure holds.
 
🚤 Sunken City of Kekova Boat Tour
The most enchanting part of the tour, the Sunken City of Kekova boat tour offers a unique experience intertwined with history. Once a thriving harbour city, Kekova was submerged following an earthquake. During the boat trip, you will observe the underwater historical remains — walls, staircases and building foundations — through the crystal-clear water. Approximately 2 hours of walking and exploration around Kekova Island is also offered.
