Demre

Faith, History, Turquoise

Located on the western coast of Antalya, Demre is both a sacred stop for the Christian world and one of the most magnificent corners of the Lycian Civilization. The district, where Saint Nicholas, known as "Santa Claus," lived and where his museum is located, takes thousands of visitors on a spiritual journey every year. Following the traces of the past with the impressive rock tombs and massive theater of the Ancient City of Myra, Demre offers a fairytale atmosphere where history remains submerged under water, with the sunken city of Kekova, the unique views of Simena, and its turquoise bays.
