Embark on an exciting journey from Alanya to the historic heart of Demre, to the ancient ruins of Myra and the mysterious waters of Kekova Island. Immerse yourself in the rich fabric of history, archaeology and natural beauty that defines this unique region of Turkey.
Your journey will begin with a comfortable transfer from your hotel before heading towards Demre. Along the way, there is a short stop for breakfast (extra charge) near Antalya, where you can enjoy local specialties.
The first stop will be the St. Nicholas Museum and Icon Center. This revered site pays homage to the saint known worldwide as Santa Claus and introduces visitors to his life and his profound impact on culture and history.
You'll then travel to the ancient city of Mira, where you'll take a step back in time. Here you'll discover an impressive ancient theater and a fascinating necropolis carved into the cliffs - true testaments to the architectural genius and artistic heritage of ancient civilizations.
After a stroll through the antiquities, you will enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants, regaining your strength and sampling traditional cuisine.
In the afternoon, a boat trip to Kekova Island and the Sunken City awaits you. The boat will slowly sail over clear turquoise waters through which you can see the ruins of a once great city that has gone underwater. You will marvel at the unforgettable beauty of a civilization swallowed up by the sea.
When the day comes to an end, you will leave Mira taking with you memories of incredible scenery and experiences and return back to your hotel.
