We visited Turkey with my and my sister's family in 2017 and then I found a private tourguide by googling around for such services. I was not so sure about it, because how do you know, right? The day we had in Perge and Aspendos then gave me full confidence to contact our tour guide Aykut again now that we were coming back. He organized a nice air-conditioned van for all of us (my family has 2 kids, my sister's 3, and we had another friend along this time, so 10 people altogether) to drive to Demre and then on to Kekova, where we had the most lovely boat trip (and lunch on the boat) around the Kekova island turquoise waters. In Demre we visited the "Santa Claus" church (St. Nicolaus church) and Myra Rock Tombs. History and the beauty of nature in a day to remember with a thoughtful and knowledgable guide. I highly recommend Mr. Aykut Altınışık, e-mail: [email protected]

It is said to be more splendid than Xantos during the Byzantium period. The amphitheatre - characteristic of Roman engineering was the biggest one in Lycia with its rock-cut tombs carved in the cliff above and beside the theatre. Myra was known to be one of five cities in Lycia besides Tlos, Patara, Xantos, Olympos, and Pinara. I took a picture of one interesting reliefs, anyone can tell me what this is?
