Demre-Myra-Kekova tour from Side is a one-day trip with a historical bias. Accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide, you will travel to the ancient city of Myra, which was once the capital and significantly important settlement of the ancient state of Lycia. Demre is located nearby. This city is famous for its Church of Saint Nicholas. Also as a part of the fascinating tour you will visit the island of Kekova, ride a comfortable yacht, have a delicious lunch and refresh in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

One-day travel plan

A busy tour program starts in the morning when the bus picks up tourists from hotels. In the mountains you have the first stop. Enjoying the breathtaking views from the sky, you can enjoy breakfast and get ready to immerse yourself in Turkish history.

The bus stops at the coast, where an elegant and comfortable yacht awaits tourists. It takes you to a sunken city near Kekova Island. Thanks to a transparent bottom you can clearly see the ruins of the ancient settlement. You will also have the opportunity to swim in the sea, freshen up and arrange an unforgettable photo session.

Before the second part of the tour, you will have lunch at the restaurant on the buffet system. Then you go to the town of Demre, located 45 kilometers from Kumlugi. Here tourists undertake a pilgrimage to the sarcophagus. The visit to St. Nicholas Church is also an obligatory part of the program.

The next stop is Myra. It is an ancient city that was the capital of the Lycian state (the country of the sun) in antiquity. The tourists will see the ancient necropolis, the Roman theatre, which is very well preserved despite the past era. You’ll be impressed by the Lycian cave tombs. And I’m sure you’ll be interested to hear the story of the ancient city told by a professional guide. After the tour you will be transferred back to the Side Hotel.
