Myra tour

Not far from Demre is the city of Myra, where the main pride is the tombs of the Lycians in the rocks. They were buried depending on their status, those who had money bought a place for themselves during their lifetime, these were the highest floors, it was believed that they would be closer to heaven, which means to God. Nearby there is a huge amphitheater of ancient times, where gladiators fought in ancient times, various fairs, concerts, and other significant events took place. One has only to sit on the very top seats, as the film Gladiator or Spartacus appears before your eyes.

If tourists want to visit the largest amphitheater in Turkey, we recommend booking a Tour to Pamukkale from Bodrum. Its ruins were reconstructed in the second half of the 20th century and are now practically pristine.
