Kekova Boat Tour (myra St.nicholas Church)

The tour begins with a scenic drive to Demre, located approximately 150 km west of Antalya, where we arrive at Üçağız port and board a boat for a two-hour cruise along the stunning coastline. The route includes visits to the charming village of Simena and its historic castle, followed by a cruise along Kekova Island to view the famous Sunken City—an ancient Lycian settlement partially submerged due to earthquakes. On the return journey, the boat anchors at Burç Bay for a refreshing half-hour swimming break in the crystal-clear waters. After this relaxing stop, the boat returns to Üçağız, and the journey continues by bus to the center of Demre.

In Demre, a delicious buffet lunch is served at a local restaurant, offering a chance to rest and enjoy regional flavors. The tour then proceeds to the Church of St. Nicholas, commonly known as Santa Claus, where guests explore this historic and spiritually significant site with insights from an experienced guide. Following the church visit, the journey continues to the ancient city of Myra, known for its impressive Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs and a grand Roman theatre that reflects the area’s rich past. After exploring these remarkable archaeological sites, the tour returns to Antalya, concluding a day filled with history, culture, natural beauty, and unforgettable memories.
