Myra Ancient City
Our first stop will be Myra, which was the capital of the Lycian Civilization for a long time. Here is also known as the place where Kybele became Artemis. The story of the city starts with embossed rock tombs, reaches the sea by Adriane Harbor. The ancient theater of the city, built above the rock tombs, is expanding downwards.
The carvings on both sides of the graves in the river necropolis are worth seeing as proof of ancient art. This magnificent theater belonging to the Roman period is one of the few ancient theaters that have survived today. Our experienced guides will open the mystery of this ancient city with you.
