Demre is an amazing place with a rich history and spiritual atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, one of the main Christian shrines. There is a special tranquility inside, and the ancient frescoes and mosaics create a feeling of touching eternity. The most powerful moment was a visit to the sarcophagus of St. Nicholas, where his relics were once kept. It is decorated with carvings and holds a special energy. The church is well preserved, despite its age, and commands deep respect. It is very pleasant that order is maintained here, and the territory is well maintained. Admission is paid, but the experience is worth every cent, the cost is about $ 15. Nearby you can stroll through the ruins of the ancient city of Mira. I believe that this memorable place is a must-visit for anyone who is interested in history and the Christian faith.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

A landmark place for every believer . It's worth visiting at least once, because St. Nicholas the Wonderworker served and was buried here! There is a sarcophagus in the temple, where his relics used to be ( now they are partly in Italy and partly in Antalya in Turkey). Anyone can attach an icon or a cross from the sarcophagus, thereby sanctifying the brought image......Now about the organization of an excursion to this museum - at the entrance you will be strongly recommended to go to the store, where they will begin to " sell " icons of Greek or Italian production. The cost of the cheapest in April 2025 was $ 90. When leaving the temple, the same icons are already worth $ 50 , and on Russian marketplaces from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles . So I don 't recommend buying icons there, it 's better to bring them from home .

A holy place for every Orthodox. Entrance to the territory of the temple museum is paid, and the time spent is unlimited. We arrived on our own, without an excursion. There is a large parking area next to the temple where you can park your car for free. There is a Greek cafe nearby. Visit the large gift shop in front of the temple. On my first visit in the early 2000s, they sold pumpkin Santa Claus figurines everywhere))), now I haven't seen it anywhere.…
