Demre, Myra & Kekova

Travel west from Antalya for a day linking Demre, the ancient city of Myra and the coastal landscape of Kekova. At Myra, the guided visit focuses on Lycian rock-cut tombs, archaeological remains and the city’s long role in the region’s history. Demre adds the religious and Byzantine context associated with St Nicholas, with museum or church admission determined by the selected ticket option. The programme then moves to the coast for a glass-bottom boat trip around Kekova. From the water, guests can view sections of the submerged ancient settlement and the narrow island landscape, with a swimming stop included when sea conditions and the day’s route allow. Transfer, the boat tour, English- and Russian-speaking guide service, lunch and insurance are included, while personal spending remains separate. Comfortable walking shoes are important at the archaeological sites, and sun protection, water and a light layer help across both land and sea sections. Bring swimwear and a towel for the possible swimming opportunity. This full-day excursion connects Lycian heritage, St Nicholas traditions and Mediterranean scenery in a clear route centred on Demre, Myra and Kekova.
