The Myra Archaeological Site, nestled between Kaş and Finike, is a vital historical treasure of the Lycian Civilization. As a key city in the Lycian Confederation, Myra held significant power with three voting rights. Its iconic rock-cut tombs, intricately carved into the cliffs, and the 2nd-century Roman theater, once used for cultural events and gladiatorial contests, highlight its rich heritage.

Myra is famously linked to St. Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus, with his Church serving as a pilgrimage site and his final resting place. The city’s strategic location and Andriake Harbour fueled its prosperity during the reign of Theodosius II.

Visitors can explore the ancient water canals, Roman-era city walls, and the unique "Birds Paradise," home to 149 bird species and healing sulphurous waters. Recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, Myra offers an unforgettable journey into Lycian history and early Christian traditions.
