Your first stop is Myra Ancient City, where towering cliffs are lined with remarkable rock-cut tombs. Nearby, a large Roman theatre stands as a testament to the city’s past importance. Walking through the ruins, you’ll get a sense of daily life in antiquity while your guide shares historical context and stories.
