MY VOYAGES

Turkey, Turkish Riviera - Demre, Kekova

Ancient Myra is called Demre today. Picturesque rock tombs carved on the hillside made the greatest impression on us, but Myra's trademark is Saint Nicholas. Kekova, on the other hand, is a small island near Demre, famous for the ancient town of Dolchiste, which was sunken by an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. We could admire the ruins only from a boat, but we had to look closely to see all the ancient columns, sarcophagi, platforms and remnants of temples and houses under the sea surface, colorfully described in the guidebook.
