We’ll head to Demre harbour where the boat awaits you for the start of your trip to Kekova. Once the anchor is raised, away we go!
Kekova
(Pass By)
Discover the fascinating secrets of Kekova’s history on this unique adventure around the Sunken City. The ancient city of Dolchiste was flooded due to an earthquake in the 2nd century, and its resulting underwater ruins never fail to leave an impression.
Kekova Island

We stay here for a certain period of time and have the chance to see the castle ruins and the area where the Necropolis is located.
Rock tombs in Myra
(Pass By)
A drive along the coast between the Taurus Mountains and the sea brings you to the waterfront in Demre where a traditional wooden boat is waiting. From here, a 90-minute cruise takes you to Kekova, an island whose coast holds the ruins of a 2nd-century city that was destroyed by an earthquake and now lies submerged in the sea. Weather permitting, you can go for a swim before moving on to the ancient city of Myra, one of the Lycean civilisation's most important port cities and an important religious centre. You can still see the ancient Greek amphitheatre and the amazing rock tombs of Lycian kings. After lunch, visit the St Nicholas Church in Demre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and burial place for the real-life figure who inspired the legend of Father Christmas. In the last few years, the church's frescoes have been repaired and its artwork retouched to evoke the glory of this ancient place of worship.
