    Beautiful sights, misleading activity details

    The overall experience was enjoyable - our guide was wonderfully efficient and informative, describing the history with clarity. It’s clear he knows quite a lot and is very experienced in guiding large tours. That said, my qualm with this activity was more the advertising on TripAdvisor: I specifically chose this tour to Demre-Myra because the maximum occupancy is capped at 27. I wanted a smaller tour since personally, those feel more manageable and less rowdy, however we ended up in a group maybe double or triple the number of people as expected. The lunch was listed as an open buffet, but this was also incorrectly described here. I agreed to paying a higher price compared to other Demre-Myra tours because of my expectations based on the activity details, but it didn’t quite meet those. I still had a wonderful time seeing these unique historical sites, and of course, I really appreciated our guide and drivers’ hard work throughout the day. However, the current economic situation has affected how tours are managed in this area, which I completely empathize with. I just wish this listing more accurately reflected the current state of the tour.

    Top-notch day!

    Myra is a gem. Our guide Tulai was adorable and clear in her explanations. The boat tour was private.

    Response from the operator: Hello Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your comment. We hope to see you again on another trip to Antalya!

    For women traveling alone

    Osman, our guide, and Engin, our driver, were superb and consummate gentlemen. For a woman traveling alone, their presence was a welcome relief from the constant burden of negotiating prices and managing unwanted, unsolicited attention masquerading as friendliness. Engin’s driving was seamless and instilled complete confidence throughout the journey. Osman is deeply knowledgeable and generous in the way he shares that knowledge, offering context without intrusion and insight without performance. The sites themselves are dreamlike, worthy of lifelong memories and photographs, and were made all the more meaningful by the care, professionalism, and respect with which this experience was conducted.

    Response from the operator: Hello Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind comment. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable tour. We hope to see you again on another trip to Antalya!

    Long but good day

    We had a good day. This tour from Antalya involves a lot of travel. From pickup it was 4hrs to our first destination, Kekova. The boat trip to Kekova sunken city was lovely, however we really couldn't see anything of the ancient city under water. There was a stop for a 15min swim which some people enjoyed. Saint Nicholas' church was very nice and it was a lovely experience. The Lycian Tombs at Myra were also fabulous and something I really wanted to see. Our journey back to Antalya was another 3 hours. So whilst I'm glad we went, it is a long day.

    Response from the operator: Hello Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind comment. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable tour. We hope to see you again on another trip to Antalya!

    Demre, Myra & Kekova

    This was a good side trip from Antalya. Loved the ancient ruins, burial sites, etc around Demre and Myra. Boat ride to Kekova was very relaxing but couldn’t see much of the sunken city.

    Response from the operator: Hello Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind comment. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable tour. We hope to see you again on another trip to Antalya!

    Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.

    How much does Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya cost?

    +

    Prices start at €42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antalya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antalya is not rushed.

    Is Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antalya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antalya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antalya and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Demre Myra and Kekova Tour from Antalya start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antalya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Antalya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Antalya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour of Pamukkale from Antalya with Lunch, Antalya Excursion to Perge, Aspendos, side, Manavgat waterfall, Antalya City Tour With Duden Waterfalls & Old Town Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Antalya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Antalya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
