07:00–09:00 — Hotel Pickup
Your driver collects you from your hotel in Antalya, Belek, Side, Alanya, or Kemer. Exact pickup time varies by hotel location — Alanya and Side guests are collected earlier. Your pickup time is confirmed with your booking.
09:30–11:00 — Myra Ancient City
Carved directly into the cliff face above the ancient Lycian city, the rock-cut tombs of Myra are among the most dramatic in Turkey. Your guide covers the history of this Lycian metropolis — walk the Roman theater, photograph the painted tomb facades, and hear the story of how Myra became one of the great cities of ancient Anatolia. Entrance fee paid locally at the ticket office.
11:00–11:45 — St. Nicholas Church, Demre
The 4th-century church built over the tomb of St. Nicholas — the real person behind Santa Claus — sits in the center of Demre. Your guide connects the history of Bishop Nicholas of Myra to the global legend he inspired. A small entrance fee is paid locally.
11:45–12:45 — Lunch
Sit-down lunch at a local restaurant in the Demre area. Lunch is included; drinks are on your own account.
13:00–15:30 — Kekova Sunken City Boat Tour
From the harbor at Üçağız, board a glass-bottom boat and glide across the crystal-clear water above the ruins of ancient Simena — Byzantine columns, doorways, and staircases visible just beneath the surface. The boat circles the island slowly, giving you time to photograph the ruins from above. Swimming is possible depending on season and conditions. 15:30–16:00 — Simena Castle & Free Time
A short stop near the village of Kaleüçağız where you can see the medieval Simena Castle perched above the water, or simply sit by the waterfront and take in one of the most peaceful views on the Turkish coast.
16:00–19:00 — Return to Antalya
Comfortable return drive in the air-conditioned minibus. Drop-off times vary by hotel location. ~
19:00 — Hotel Drop-off
Back at your hotel. Alanya and Side guests may arrive slightly later depending on traffic.
