What to see

Myra was one of the leading cities of Lycia. Its sea necropolis and river necropolis are rock faces covered with tombs carved to look like timber houses, some with reliefs; below them the theatre is decorated with theatrical masks.

An hour is enough. The tombs are viewed from below, and the theatre can be climbed.

Pair Myra with the Church of St Nicholas in Demre town and with the harbour site of Andriake by the sea.

Getting there

Myra is about 2 km north of Demre centre; buses on the coast road between Kaş and Antalya stop in Demre.

How we rank: Nearby Ministry-licensed places first (matched to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism list), then other places by distance band (within 5 km, 15 km, 40 km; straight line) and public map ratings and review counts. A licensed place never jumps ahead of a closer band. Places more than 25 km away in another town are shown only when there are few options nearby. No business pays to be listed. A high score from a handful of reviews counts for less than a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ratings and counts come from ilçemde's data (source shown on each card, checked 1 Oct 2026); read the reviews themselves on the map services.

Accommodation lists open on ilçemde, our sister directory of Turkish businesses (new tab). We do not take bookings or commissions.
