Everything is beautifully interesting, the feeling of antiquity...in excellent condition..One question..They were restored and restored with the money collected by the Russians.The entrance ticket is for local pennies.for foreigners, 17 euros.Is that fair?we continue to pay, despite the fact that the place is very popular, tourists are brought by buses..Advice for those who are vacationing in Turkey.Don't be afraid to ride local buses.you can pay the driver.show him the point where you need to go.it will cost pennies.you will find all tourist locations on site.Admission is often free..or 17 euros as with us. I paid 100 liras for the trip to Demre.I visited the Temple, it is next to the bus station, walked to the World, literally 20 minutes, went to the graves in the mountains.. admission is 17 euros...a total of 40 euros.how much do you give to travel agencies, at least 100.. it's safe in Turkey, we traveled 3 women, hitchhiked...we saw the real Turkey, after that we don't want to go to expensive all-inclusive hotels at all.How we overpay, deprive ourselves of delicious Turkish food, and do not see the most beautiful seaside towns.
Today we went on an excursion to the church of St. Nicholas, to the place of his burial and then went to the flooded city of Kekova. It is interesting and informative. But all this is thanks to our Coral Travel guide named Erdogan. We were just lucky to have him. If it wasn't for his fascinating story all the way both in the temple and on the way on the ship, it would have been banal stuff from Coral. There is something to compare it with. We constantly take excursions from Coral, but today it is the highest class of intelligence and knowledge shown by Erdogan. Passionate about the history of his country, he tried to convey information clearly to all of us. I am proud of my country, thank him very much! He speaks Russian very well and correctly, respectfully and it was a pleasure to listen to him! We ask you to raise his salary! Thanks to such professionals, the level of service from the company as a whole increases and we will remember it for a long time!
While on vacation in Turkey, we were lucky enough to visit such a wonderful place - the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the ancient city of Demre (formerly Mira) where St. Nicholas the Wonderworker lived and preached.I was glad to see with my own eyes this is such an important place for the Orthodox, although for Turkey it is a historical museum and excursions take place there, but this does not lose its importance.nearby there is a church shop where you can buy icons, candles, all of them are extremely beautiful, they are made either on Mount Athos or in the Italian city of Bari you can buy and attach to the sarcophagus, where the relics of the Saint were previously located.before the Italians kidnapped them.having visited this wonderful place, I still think it's probably for the best that now the relics are kept in Bari, because the Italians greatly honor Nicholas the Wonderworker and services are held there, they honor him on a grand scale, from small to large!Unfortunately, I found out late that the archaeological museum in Antalya also houses the holy relics of the Wonderworker, there was no time to visit him!
