Ancient city of Myra was one of the six major Lycian cities. The exact date of the founding of the Myra ancient city is unknown. According to the Lycian inscriptions the settlement existed here in the 5th century BC and was known as Myra. It is believed that in ancient times the word "myra" meant aromatic resin for production of incense.

In that time the Myra was big city and had its own bishop - Nicholas of Myra, better known as Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus. He was buried in the ancient Lycian sarcophagus in the local church which now bears his name and is open to the public. This church is considered to be the third most important religious building of Byzantine architecture in the Orient. The Lycian rock tombs and the Greek - Roman theater  survived as a reminder of the glorious past of the Demre Myra Turkey.

On the way back we will visit another wonderful city - the city of Kas in Turkey and its Kas beach. This is one of the most "non-Turkish" resorts in Turkey. It is located in a fairly confined space at the junction of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas surrounded by mountains and pine forests from three sides. This resort is almost the only area place in Turkey where you will not see mass tourist, the reasons are simple - a sufficiently large distance from the airport and the lack of large chain hotels. Also you will be able to take pictures of one of the most beautiful small beaches in Turkey - Kaputas beach. Distance from Fethiye to Kas is about 105 km.
