Myra Ruins
In Demre
ID: 
177

Important Lycian city located at the northern edge of Demre. The ruins are extensive and very impressive.

Notes

For a while Myra was the capital of the Lycian League. It has the largest amphitheater of all of the Lycian cities and impressive tombs cut into the cliff face (dating from the 4th century B.C.).

 

The city was founded at least as far back as the 5th century B.C.

How You Can Help

Trail research is never actually done. Here’s some of what we’re looking for:
✅   More photos! Ideally with geo-location information in the metadata. In addition to using some photos on Trekopedia, we add them to our internal reference database which significantly helps us with trail research. The more photos, the better! If you are willing to share your collection with us, we’d be incredibly grateful. Let us know and we’ll arrange a transfer.

✅   Points of interest. Help us identify (and geo-locate) accommodations, attractions, restaurants, markets, trail waypoints, confusing or problematic junctions, difficult or hazardous places, water sources, and so on. 

✅   Tips & recommendations. Share your thoughts with other hikers.
In addition to the above, please see this article for information on more general ways you can help. Thanks!
