Excellent tour
This was great tour with an excellent guide whose name i cannot remember. She gave an excellent commentary not just on the history but also on local life. There was plenty of time at each location to see everything. St Nicholas Church was amazing and trip was worth it just to go here. Breakfast stop and lunch was very tasty with a choice of dishes. Drive was about 3 hours each way from Antalya with plenty of toilet stops.

Great tour and tour...
Great tour and tour guide. The woman was very knowledgeable and knew many languages. She put great effort in the well-beeing of the guests. The driver also was very professional, his driving was very good. It was quite a drive where you can see all these nice little villages along the way. I recommend.

Looong Day trip to Myra & Kokova
I was excited about this trip BUT the excursion started in small vans that picked us up from location 5 mins from hotel, taking us to a random meeting spot about an hr down the road to get onto a larger bus. The pick ups en route wasted sooo much time - we reached our first stop around 1030 & some people had been on the bus since 530am. Understandably they were cross! We had been travelling since 6.30am. The Kokova sunken City was a pleasant boat ride. However, the " glass bottom boat", which was in fact a few very unclear windows in the bottom of the boat rendered no signs of any city or ruins that were visible. The history was explained, and people did enjoy a swimming break. The visit to St Nicholas Church was allotted 20-25 mins & cost an extra 17 euro's per person to enter. Myra was interesting & the theater impressive, but if you have any mobility issues the theater steps are steep and the best views may not be accessible. The journey back was expedited by less drop offs, the bus meeting the vans in a different locale. However, one person dropped off before us was dropped off on the road about 100M from their hotel and was unaware there was a tram track alongside the bus, and as the van doors opened & he went to step off the van, he was narrowly missed by a speeding tram! The drivers speak very little English & no warning given. Whew!

Demre Myra Kekova Sunken City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.
How much does Demre Myra Kekova Sunken City cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 Kekova Sunken City 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 Kekova Sunken City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 40 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 Kekova Sunken City?
+
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 Kekova Sunken City 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 Kekova Sunken City?
+
Around 14 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 Kekova Sunken City 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.
