Kekova Demre Myra Tour From Alanya

The Alanya Kekova-Demre-Myra tour offers a glimpse into Turkey's history with visits to the ancient city of Myra, the Church of St. Nicholas in Demre, and the sunken city in Kekova. The tour begins with an exciting boat trip to Kekova's sunken city, which was destroyed by an earthquake in the 2nd century. Visitors will explore an ancient Greek amphitheater and the rock-cut tombs of the Lycian necropolis in Myra. 

The tour will take you to the antique theatre and the Church of St. Nicholas, who is famously known as Santa Claus. Once the bishop of Myra, St. Nicholas is now the patron saint of Russia, Beit Jala in Palestine, and New York City. In Demre, visitors will stay in a lemon and orange-scented location, which was St. Nicholas's home and final resting place. He was a protector of children and travelers, and a guardian of sailors.

After a delicious lunch, indulge in the scenic views and turquoise waters on the picturesque Kekova Island from Ucagiz Village. Tour the exceptional underwater ruins of the sunken city belonging to Kekova Island and visit the impressive Lycian necropolis at Teimiussa. Visitors can go for a swim and snorkel if desired, so don't forget your bathing suit and towel. The tour concludes in the late evening with a hotel drop-off back in Alanya.
