Demre, Myra, Kekova (BUS & YACHT)
KEKOVA: An hour from Dalyangazi by sea, especially by sea especially enjoyable for the yacht-men, is the islands of Kekova (home of the sun). Kekova is also the name of picturesque islands, numerous bays and ancient cities. Along the northern shore of Kekova island, structural movements of the land over the years have caused some of the ancient houses to be totally submerged while remains of the others are scattered along the shore. Fascinating Lycian Necropolis chest type tombs spread out along the coastline lies at Themiussa near the present day. Ucagiz is the main land across.
DEMRE: Some of the finest examples of Lycian funerary architecture are to be found at Myra, near the expanding present day town of Demre. The site, about a mile from the town includes a vast Roman theatre in good repair and built against a cliff face that also houses two 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 jungle of the architecture of death is dramatic.

ST.NICHOLAUS 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 lifetime and stories that surrounded him have identified today in the west with father Christmas.
