Alanya Kekova-Demre-Myra tour will open to you the pages of Turkish history while visiting an ancient city in Myra, the church of St.
Nicholas in Demre, and the sunken city in Kekova!
Starting with the fascinating boat trip to Kekova sunken city, destroyed by an earthquake during the 2nd century, you'll visit an ancient Greek amphitheater and the rock-cut tombs of the Lycian necropolis in Myra!
Visit the Antique Theatre and the Church of St.
Nicholas, the saint who is referred to as Santa Claus.
Santa Claus was the bishop of Myra.
Today he is the patron saint of Russia, Beit Jala in Palestine, and New York City.
The defender of children, guardian of sailors, and protector of travelers, he was said to have lived here.
Sleeping with lemon and orange aromas, Demre was chosen by St.
Nicholas as his home and his final resting place.
