My friend and I thought this tour was better than expected. It is a long drive and you will be leaving at around 7am, but it is scenic and totally worth it! Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable, and spoke English very clearly with a good pronunciation. Myra's tombs on the rock face are truly unique, and the boat ride to the sunken city offered beautiful views and photo opportunities. If you are spending a few extra days in Antalya, you should definitely join this tour!
It's wonderful to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations! The journey may be long, but the stunning scenery and unique historical sites make it truly worthwhile. We're glad you enjoyed the guide’s expertise and the incredible experience of Myra’s tombs and the sunken city. Thank you for your recommendation—we’d love to welcome you on another adventure soon! 😊
Very nice day in the company of a guide who takes us through time, during visits to beautiful sites.
Merci infiniment pour votre magnifique retour ! Nous sommes enchantés de savoir que vous avez vécu une expérience immersive à travers le temps et l’histoire. Nous espérons vous revoir pour d’autres découvertes inoubliables !
With the help of the staff of the travel agency, the boat trip was smooth, the staff was careful and warm, the trip was very fun! The price is great too! Thank you for making our summer have a wonderful trip
Thank you dear guest for your best review.
This was a smaller group but we still joined up with the larger tours. So the smaller group only meant we didn’t get on large buses. The tour took all day. It would have been much better as a private tour - less waisted waiting around and more informative. Our guide wasn’t eager to share information. He also charged us extra for the St Nicolas church to have his guided tour instead of the audio tour. His guided tour of this location was excellent. I wish we had had the same care of informations shared at the other two stops. We spent a bit of time waiting for pick up and drop off. And the lunch was really really not good. The sights were beautiful and worth the trip, just don’t do the group tour. And request a different location for lunch.
Dear guest, did you take the tour from our company, that is, we did not organize the Demre tour registered under this name. You wrote a comment to the wrong address, we kindly request you to write your comments to the company you made the reservation with.
The boat tour was amazing, seeing the Sunken city was absolutely worth it. We also visited the ancient Myra Rock tombs and Saint Nicholas church
Thank you so much for your best review.
If you have a lot of time to spare in Antalya, only then I would recommend this trip. Although the 5am wakeup call is definitely not worth it. Boat ride was nice, although couldn't see any of the underwater wrecks. Myra was ok. Then again probably not worth the 6-7 hour drive time.
Dear guest thank you for your review.Information about the tour is written on the purchase button. I guess you are not very interested in the date how long it lasts. Of course, demre and myra are not in antslyada. That's why the tour starts early.
Tried to book this tour through Tripadvisor with various providers with no success. Contacted u Can travel directly and they were most helpful via WhatsApp. Was picked up by friendly bus driver Mehmut at hotel at 6:39 and drove to old Town to pick up the rest of the tour participants. We met Yakub- our very friendly, knowledgeable and humorous guide. He spoke English, Russian, Turkish and German. Drive to Demre (with a stop on the way) where we visited the tombs, then St Nicholas church and then the sunken city of Kekova (boat). Yakub have interesting talks about each site and then about 30-40 minutes free time for pics and a swimming break near Kekova. Tour was interesting, bus comfortable (but a long drive-2 hours either way) and the boat ride very beautiful. Take a swimsuit and towel. Would recommend but it’s a long day.
thank you raza for your best review.
You deserved an excellent activity thanks for everything;) I actually said it wasn't a good thing but it was a nice activity
sayın misafir teşekkür ederiz.yorumunuz için.
One of the best days ever. Picked us up from the hotel early this morning, around 7 a.m. We arrived tonight. Despite the long road, time and money were worth what they saw. Historic tours are really the most interesting. The guide spoke English - everything was relatively clear, a delicious and hearty lunch was also included in the tour. It's cool when you can meet foreigners from other countries. The masks were hardly off, but that didn't get in the way. Take more water with you)) About prices - bid as much as possible))
thank you you for good review.and choosing us.
