Near the car park is the northern harbor, next to this the naval base, and to the south the southern harbor, popular today with swimmers and yachts. The two small islets on the northern harbor were joined to the mainland by a pier which extended from the walls around the promontory. In this once favored port of ancient times, the visitor can find many ancient ruins.Then drive to visit Myra and St.Nicholas Church.
Myra: Some of the finest examples of Lycian funerary architecture are to be found at Myra, near the explanding present day town of Demre. The site,about a mile from the town includes a vast Roman theater in good repair and build against a cliff face that olso houses too impressive sets of Lycian tombs. Many of the tombs have long cabin features carved into the rocks , presumably reflecting the domestic architecture of the period. Carvings above are mostly in poor repair but the overall effect to this jumple of the architecture of death is dramatic.
St. Nicholas Church: Best known as the patron saint of children, who was born at Patara around AD.300 and bishop of Myra where he died. The miracles he performed in life time and stories that surrounded him have identified today in the west with father Christmas.Return to Antalya.
