    Lycian Rock Tombs

    This is the moment you have to see with your own eyes!! Here, the pammukale in pictures on the Internet is more beautiful than it really is. The cemetery lives much better!

    Myra ruins

    This is the perfect place if you are someone who loves exploring historical and legendary places. The cemeteries are showing off their amazing structures and history. Next to that, the Myra Theater is gigantic and still in good condition to this day. Well worth a visit!

    Myra Ancient City

    The ancient city of Myra was once the Lycian capital, 1.5 kilometers from Demre, a modern farming city. The main product of the region is tomatoes. And now the southern plains of Myra are filled with greenhouses. The city sits at the base of a steep cliff. A beautiful tomb was built into the rock and sits high above. At the top of the cliff is a ruined Byzantine castle. The Turkish flag flutters over the ruins.

    St. Nicholas Church

    St Nicholas Church is a must-visit if you are in Demre as it has important historical meaning. I recommend buying a ticket with audio guide or booking a tour. The church itself is quite small and parts of the church were closed for renovations.

Meeting Point

In front of the main entrance to St. Nicholas Church (Merkez Mahallesi, 07570 Demre (Kale)/Demre/Antalya, Turkey) See Map
