What to see
Andriake was the port where grain ships from Egypt called on their way to Rome. The granary built under Emperor Hadrian, with eight long halls, has been restored as a museum of Lycian life; around it lie an agora with a cistern, baths and a dye workshop for the purple made from sea snails.
Allow one and a half hours; combine with Myra and St Nicholas Church in Demre.
The ministry page lists the site as open but prints no price.
