Patara lays in a central position within the Lycian coast, allowing our guests to enjoy varied opportunities every day:
daily trips to visit the ancient cities and boat tours for swimming around the coast are examples of activities available.
Kas and Kastellorizo (The Greek Island). The excursion takes you to the beautiful village of Kastelorizo, site of the Italian movie “Mediterraneo”.
On the way back we stop at the typical coastal Turkish town of Kas noted for its old wooden houses and very narrow alleys full of colors and flowers.
As an ideal conclusion of a lovely day, one can stop for a Turkish dinner at a local restaurant.
Kekova, Myra and the Church of St Nicholas. This outing takes you first to the famous Tombs of Myra and the Church of St. Nicholas.
The church was built in the IV century AC and was the final destination of pilgrimages throughout many centuries.
(St. Nicholas, i. e. Santa Claus, is believed to have lived on the Lycian coast). This is followed by an enchanting tour of Kekova,
the ancient city now covered by crystal clear waters. If you wish, you can take an unforgettable swim above the submerged city!
