Myra Ancient City

Discover Lycian rock tombs and a Roman theatre in Demre.

A closer look

Myra is the ancient settlement around Demre. Its rock tombs and Roman theatre are principal highlights; tomb façades show how forms associated with timber buildings were translated into stone.

 

 First look at the relationship between theatre and tombs, then focus on details. If adding the Church of Saint Nicholas or Andriake, treat them as separate stops with separate admission arrangements.
