Historical corner:

The Lycians, nicknamed “People of the Sea”, are the first to have inhabited the area and bequeathed to the region between Fethiye and Antalya its cultural appeal.

This circuit therefore invites you to marvel for a day, enjoying the historical riches of the ruins of Myra, the church of Saint Nicholas, while finishing the journey in a serene and rested way in the island of Kekova, with unparalleled natural landscape.

Myra, an ancient Lycian city and capital of the Byzantine Eparchy, will amaze you with its large necropolis, built on the side of a cliff.

Its amphitheater, the largest in Lycia, is remarkably well preserved. The Church of Saint-Nicolas, for its part, claims to house the tomb of Santa Claus! Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra was known for his kindness. He paid the dowries of parents who could not afford to marry their daughters, which earned him the title of benefactor to unmarried wives and women but also to children, whom he covered with gifts. Finally, the island of Kekova, with its lush vegetation, is home to Lycian tombs by the water. An experience that combines nature and cultural enrichment.
