Full day Demre Myra and Kekova tour from Antalya

Lycian coast history

Demre, Myra & Kekova Day Tour from Antalya

Demre–Myra–Kekova is one of Antalya's longest but most varied history-and-sea days. Current Antalya-origin private products can take about 13 hours because the route combines a long coastal transfer with a Kekova boat trip, Myra's Lycian and Roman remains, and Demre-area sights. It is best for travellers who accept a very early start.
