Full description
Your day begins with a comfortable morning pickup from your Antalya hotel, where an air-conditioned coach is already waiting to carry you west along the dramatic Lycian coastline. As the road winds past pine-clad mountains tumbling toward the turquoise sea, your guide shares stories of the ancient Lycian civilisation that once ruled these shores, and the scenery alone makes the journey feel like part of the adventure.
The heart of the day unfolds across three unforgettable stops. At Myra you stand beneath a sheer cliff face honeycombed with elaborate rock-cut tombs, their temple-like facades carved more than two thousand years ago, beside a remarkably preserved Roman theatre. In Demre you step into the Church of Saint Nicholas, resting place of the bishop whose generosity became the legend of Santa Claus. Then you board a glass-bottom boat and drift over Kekova, peering down through clear water at the submerged staircases, foundations and harbour walls of a city swallowed by an ancient earthquake, with the Crusader castle of Simena watching from the ridge above.
After the cruise you enjoy a relaxed lunch at a welcoming seaside restaurant, with time to swim in a calm cove or simply soak up the Mediterranean sun before the scenic return drive to Antalya. By the time you reach your hotel, you will carry home photographs of sunken ruins, towering tombs and a coast that few travellers ever forget, the kind of day that turns a holiday into a story worth telling.
