The boat ride in the Mediterranean itself was a wonderful experience. I have never seen so many shades of blue water at the same time! Enchanting! Then the ruins of a well-built city of ages thousands of years ago... history stands before you at every step. A great experience, though much of it was just a look from the boat. Then the walk at Demre Myra through the rock-cut tombs from the Lycian era, built more than 5000 years ago, which was awe-striking. Another remarkable spot was the church of St Nicholas. The ruins of the church with the story of St Nicholas aliaas Santa Claus does strike a chord..

Wonderful tour! Our tour guide Huseyien was so funny and very knowledgeable about Turkiye in general and the places we went. I wish we would have had a bit longer with the rock tombs and not stopped at the onyx factory. I hate when tours do that. But it was a lovely long day!

Do not book. I can't repeat myself enough. Pacho travellers. Worst trip ever booked from Trip advisor. This was our last day and we were really excited Extremely unprofessional, mis managed and rude providers. The agent was behind the mail's and phone exchanges and threw the worst English speaking guide, who didn't know anything, at us. We were made to travel in a small van because they overbooked while English guide was in bus. Bus was for Russian guide and apparently she explained well and also while on bus gave overview of the place. All 8-9 of us who were English speaking crowd didn't get any history. Trust me, another person who was travelling is a full time guide in Greece and she translated the history for us from russian to English.

I was really looking forward to the tour in the first place but wouldn't recommend it to anybody now. Starting off on an exclusively russian Bus with a russian speaking guide, we were offered to swap to a Minibus with out any guide to proceed until the actual destination. Eventhough we had been asking the english speaking guide, who accompanied the group on the coach, explicitly for information about the itinerary and the schedule we were consoled: the facts should be given at a later point of the excursion. Long story short: we weren't given any facts at all. At Myra and Kekova itself he was trying to do some basics, but it was hard to listen to since he didn't speak English all that well and had a hard time answering additional questions. At Kekova he didn't even bother but just hang out with other guests after having us asking for informationon the place one more time. Apperley though, the lack of information was an over-all issue - nobody seems to know when to be where and at which time and the two guides were constantly busy looking for lost guests at the respective location or for the driver of our minibus, who admittedly didn't know the area at all. Needles to say, this took a lot of time amd led to the group splitting up. Unsurprisingly, the estimated time of 8-10 hours was exeeded by 4-6 hours. On top of all that, the restaurant we were taken to for lunch offered a miserable quality of lowpriced foods: there was not even a main course and drinks where not included. The same was the case for the boat we went on in Kekova. Apart from that, it is sadly that there is not a lot to visit in Myra or Kekova in general. So even, the way this tour isideally designed is to be improved by a lot. It was very clear that the guides themselves were conscious of this because they (or at least the english guide) made desperate excuses at several occasions how he didn't organise the tour and so on.

Our guide was well prepared and had a great knowledge about the places. The 3 hours bus ride was my favorite. Beautiful views and we really enjoyed it.
