Demre is the modern town on the site of ancient Myra, west of Antalya between Kaş and Finike. It suits culture lovers and couples who want to explore Lycian history, the sunken ruins at Kekova and quiet beaches away from the big resorts.
Hotels in the town centre are close to the Church of St Nicholas, restaurants and the bus station. The Beymelek side to the east, with its lagoon and peaceful shore, is a calmer choice. Around Büyükkum you will find bungalows and aparthotels, where self-catering flats work well for families.
Antalya is the nearest major airport; book Antalya Airport (AYT) transfers to reach your hotel. كاش is a short coastal drive to the west.
April to June and September to October are the best times for exploring the ancient sites and joining a Kekova boat trip. July and August are very hot, so visit Myra early in the morning. Hiring a car is the most practical way to explore Demre and the coast around it.
