If the purpose of your trip is a pilgrimage, and it is very important for you to visit the world's first church of St. Nicholas, where he served and was buried (ATTENTION - his relics were transported to Italy and the sarcophagus behind glass in the temple is just a place where his relics were once lay!!! ! ) then most likely you will like it, but for everyone else it will be boring and not interesting, at least who will get the guide Latif !! ! On the way from the airport to the hotel, the transferman praised the Demre-Mira-Kekova excursion (visiting 3 ancient places at once), the hotel guide, whom we met the next day upon arrival, also praised very much, the cost was $ 2.110 (Join tour operator ap, rested at the Golden Lotus Kemer) - although I told my dad not to take it, he did not listen to me and bought this tour. There has never been such a boring, wasted day in my life! We were picked up from the hotel at about 7 am, pre-prepared the Lunchbox, check-in to several more hotels, and on the way ...Check-in at the cafe for breakfast, i. e.
you can eat your Lunchbox at the table - this is a bun with a slice of cheese and tomato and juice) and continue on the road! The first words of our historian guide were that we should forget about 3 places, because 2 of them are the same, only they were called differently in different periods))) Our guide, whose name was Latif, is not enough spoke Russian distinctly, constantly coughed and choked, told not interestingly and very often lost the thread of the story, and it was very difficult to put his story together. First we visited the church of St. Nicholas, where in the church shop sellers pounce on you like kites !!! ! This is a holy place, guys, how is it possible!!! ! They just follow you! They said that the icons from Italy with real silver and rather not frail prices - the average price is $ 200-300. The church is dilapidated with a bunch of groups of tourists, there is a catastrophic lack of space for everyone!
Then lunch at a local eatery and a boat trip to the flooded city of Kekova, the description said that the yacht would have a glass bottom and that we would see the flooded part of the city through this glass bottom - no one saw anything from about 60 people, by the way, a glass bottom these are several small windows, near which even half of the vacationers could not fit)))) By the way, the yacht was terrible, they brought 2 groups there and it was clearly not designed for such a number of people. They promised a place for sunbathing - in fact it was the bow of the yacht lined with artificial green smelly coating, which could accommodate a maximum of 10 people like herrings, there was NOTHING on the upper deck, just painted iron! This entire trip on a yacht was saved by beautiful views of the mountains, a village in the mountains and blue water in the bay where we swam and a serpentine road with wonderful views.
And then, they took us to the ancient Lycian tombs and the amphitheater, but everyone was already so tired that the visit lasted about half an hour, and there was nothing to see there longer and the sun was very hot! We were brought to the hotel around 18:30 - sorry for wasting the day!! !
