Kekova Boat Tour
KEKOVA : An hour from Dalyangazi by sea, especialy sea,
especialy enjoyable for the yacht-men, is the islands of
Kekova (home of the sun). Kekova is also the name of
picturesque islands, numerous bays and ancient cities. Along
the northern shore of Kekova island, structural movements of
the land over the years have caused some of the ancient houses
to be totaly submerged while remains of the others are
scattered along the shore. A fascinating Lycian Necropolis
chesttype tombs spread out along the costline at Theminussa
near the present day. Ücagiz is the main land cross.
MYRA : Some of the finest example of Lycian funerary
architecture are to be found at Myra, near thee expanding
present day town of Demre. The site, about a mile from the
town includes a vast Roman theatre in good repair and build
agains a cliff face that also houses too impressive sets Lcian
tombs. Many of the tombs have long cabin features carved in to
the rocks, presumably reflecting the domestic architecture of
the period. Carvings above are mostly in poor repair but the
overall effect to this jumble of the architecture of death is
dramatic.
DEMRE (St.Nicholaus Church): Best known as the patron saint of
children, who was born at Patara around AD. 300 and bishop of
Myra where he died. The miracles he performed in life time and
stories that surrounded him have identified today in the west
