About Myra Örenyeri
Mira lies next to Demre and brings together two easily recognizable landmarks: the funerary façades carved into the rock and the ancient theatre. They show different functions of the Lycian city and its later transformations. The archaeological walk is distinct from the visit to the St. Nicholas church in town.
The tombs should be viewed from the circulation areas, not treated as free access points into the cliff openings. In the theatre, the scale of the seating and the surviving elements help convey the performance building. Both sectors require attention to paving and level changes.
Prefer a visit in a less hot period and allow time to read the ensemble before moving to another place. From Demre, the route can be organized by local transport or taxi. If coming from Kaş or Kalkan, include the coastal road in the total time, as well as the walk within the site.
