Rock tombs in Myra |
St. Nicholas Church |
Simena across Kekova Island |
KEKOVA: Kekova is a name given to the most scenic area in Lycia
along the Turquoise Coast. It covers a large area consisting of
Kekova Island, Kale (the Castle) village and Üçagiz (the Three
Mouths) village. A sunken city was formed by the submergence of
ancient cities probably due to earthquakes. The Tersane (shipyard)
can still be seen on the shore of Kekova Island. Both the sunken
city and the Tersane are thought to be from either the Lycian or
Byzantine period, but neither of them have been excavated. On a
narrow section of the western side of the island are the ruins of a
Byzantine Church with its apse still visible. The village of Kale
has been identified as the former Lycian town of Simena, where there
is still a settlement with stone cottages mixed in with Lycian and
Roman remains. A Lycian sarcophagus standing in the shallows of the
harbor of Simena is the most notable ruin. Other remains in the
village are a 1st century AD Roman bath complex, a medieval castle,
a small theater, cisterns and a necropolis.
MYRA: The ancient city of Myra, located a few kilometers out of
Demre in the north, was one of the earliest Lycian cities. Myra was
renowned throughout the centuries as the city where St. Nicholas had
lived in the 4th century AD. The ruins in Myra consist mainly of a
theater and some of the best examples of Lycian rock-cut tombs. The
rest of the city has not been excavated yet. The acropolis, as
expected, is at the top of the hill.
ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH: Saint Nicholas
giving its name to the church in Demre (Myra) is said to be the
original Santa Claus. St. Nicholas became the bishop of the
Christian church of Myra, but little is known about him with
certainty. His reputation for generosity and compassion is best
exemplified in the legend that relates how Nicholas saved a poor man
from a life of prostituting his three daughters. The story provides
the foundation for the custom, still practiced in many countries, of
giving gifts in celebration of the saint's day, which is December 6.
St. Nicholas was buried in a tomb outside the city of Myra, over
which a chapel was subsequently erected. In the 6th century it was
replaced by a large church, which is located in the town of Demre.
