About this tour
A full day west along the Lycian coast from Antalya. At Myra, house-shaped Lycian tombs are carved high into the cliff above a Roman theatre. In nearby Demre stands the Church of St Nicholas, the bishop whose story became Santa Claus. From the fishing village of Üçağız a boat takes you over the Kekova sunken city, where walls, stairs and foundations lie just below the clear surface — the area is protected, so you view it from the boat. The boat continues to Simena, a village reached only by sea and crowned by a small castle, with a swim stop in a quiet bay before the drive back.

Frequently asked
Can we swim over the sunken city?
No — the ruins are protected, so boats pass over them slowly and swimming happens in a nearby bay.
Is it a long day?
Yes, about 12 hours from Antalya. From Kaş or Kalkan the drive is much shorter — ask for that pickup in your quote.
Are site tickets included?
Your quote states whether tickets for Myra and the church are included. We can include them so there is nothing to pay on the day.
