Turkey: Myra or Saint Nicholas home

The ancient city of Myra is in Antalya’s Demre. The ancient city of Myra was built on a mountain slope overlooking the sea, and Myra is one of the places that impressed people with its rock tombs. Built in about 5th BC Myra was one of the most important cities in Lycia. One of the impressive ruins of Myra, Lycian temples and rock tombs carved into the steep slopes of the acropolis. Also The Ancient Theater is one of the other important structures of Myra. If you’re in Antalya I strongly recommend to visit this place. The easiest way to get here is to rent a car , it will take nearly 2 hours driving. Another option is to take a bus to Demre from Antalya bus station and to take a taxi to the ruins from Demre bus station. Actually the ruins are in walking distance and if you got used to walking walk another 20 minutes. #myra#antalya #turkey #trip #ancientcity
