4.(Small Group) Day Trip to Kekova Island, Demre & Myra

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 78 reviews · 10 hours · from $71

“Overall a very good trip but would benefit from more commentary, particularly at the Sunken City, about what we were looking at. Needs to be clearer as well that the entry costs for Myra are high - 13euros each to visit when we are only there for 30 minutes when you can see most of the tombs without entering the site at all. Food on boat was excellent! Delicious salads with chicken at lunch and a lovely selection of fruit later in the afternoon was very welcome.”
