Myra Antik Kenti

one hour Admission included

Our first stop will be Myra, which was the capital of the Lycian Civilization for a long time. Here is also known as the place where Kybele became Artemis. The story of the city starts with embossed rock tombs, and reaches the sea by Adriane Harbor. The ancient theater of the city, built above the rock tombs, is expanding downwards.

The carvings on both sides of the graves in the river necropolis are worth seeing as proof of ancient art. This magnificent theater belonging to the Roman period is one of the few ancient theaters that have survived today. Our experienced guides will open the mystery of this ancient city with you.
Church of St. Nicholas

one hour Admission included

Our next stop will be the Church of Saint Nicholas, which is located right next to Myra. The cleric who lived in Anatolia known as "Santa Claus" worldwide, known mostly as Santa Klaus in European countries. The importance of today's Italy to Sicily Island, Naples, Bari, Germany's Freiburg, and even the patron saint of New York City in America, commemoration is held on December 6 of each year.

The place where the real St. Nicholas lived is on the Mediterranean coast which never snows. With his benevolent attitude towards children in distress, his protective personality turned into a sympathetic old man who appeared on Christmas nights and brought gifts to children. As you stroll through the magnificent St. Nicolaus church, witness the traces of charity, solidarity, and love.
