Myra Ancient City

Myra Ancient City

4.1
5.0/5
1 reviews
The ancient city of Damiye Meira, commonly referred to the famous ancient city of Palmyra in central Syria, was an important oasis city on the ancient Silk Road, also known as the "Desert Bride". It connects Eastern and Western commerce and culture, and reached its peak during the Roman Empire, with magnificent temples, colonnaded avenues, theaters and mausoleum towers, blending Greek, Roman, Persian and local art styles, showing a unique intersection of civilizations. Palmyra is not only one of the most important archaeological sites in Syria, but also included in the World Heritage List. Despite the devastation of war, this ancient city still symbolizes the common historical memory and splendid civilization of mankind.Demre · 1.4km from downtown

Kaş

Kaş is nestled along the Lycian coast of the Mediterranean in Türkiye, built upon the ruins of the ancient city of Antiphellos. It is a harbor town that blends Greek charm with remnants of Lycian civilization. Before the population exchange between Greece and Türkiye in 1923, a large number of Greek residents lived here, and the old town still retains the blue-and-white stone houses and cobblestone alleys they left behind. The town is a renowned diving destination in Türkiye, with shipwreck sites and aircraft wreckage scattered along the coast—including a well-preserved Dakota DC-3 transport plane wreck that you can enter and explore, as well as underwater canyons, reefs, and steep rock walls. The underwater visibility is excellent, and while diving, you may occasionally spot groupers, octopuses, and sea turtles. Beyond diving, taking a boat trip is a signature experience here; you can gaze at the semi-submerged ruins of the Sunken City of Kekova along the coastline, or take a short ferry ride for a day trip to the Greek island of Kastellorizo, which is just across the water. Several Lycian rock tombs and sarcophagi are scattered throughout the town and on the hillsides, with a 4th-century BC lion-shaped sarcophagus being particularly striking. The town also preserves an ancient open-air theater, where you can sit on the stone steps and look out over the azure sea. The old town is compact, making it easy to explore the main attractions on foot. The streets are lined with shops selling handicrafts and Mediterranean snacks, perfect for slowing down and soaking in the atmosphere.Kas · 31.2km from Demre

It's an unusual place. I probably wouldn't consider visiting it as a tour. We drove past in a rental car, but I highly recommend it.
