Demre is a town and its surrounding district in the #Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of #Turkey, named after the river Demre.
Demre is the Lycian town of #Myra, the home of Saint Nicholas of Myra, the historical man later developed into the figure of Santa Claus. The district was known as Kale until it was renamed in 2005. A substantial Christian community of Greeks lived in Demre (Myra) until the 1920s when they were forced to migrate to Greece after the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[4] The abandoned Greek villages in the region are a striking reminder of this exodus. Abandoned Greek houses can still be seen at Demre and the regions of Kalkan, Kaş and Kaya which is a Greek ghost town.[4] A small population of Turkish farmers moved into the region when the Greek Christians were forced to migrate to Greece.[4] The region is popular with tourists today particularly Christian pilgrims who visit the tomb of Saint Nicholas.

ABANDONED - Sunken City Kekova Turkey (Atlantis ?) Glass Bottom Boat Trip

#ABANDONED - Sunken City Kekova Turkey (Alantis ?) Glass Bottom Boat Trip, #urbex #atlantis. Kekova, also named Caravola (Lycian: Dolichiste), is a small Turkish island near Demre (Demre is the Lycian town of Myra) district of Antalya province which faces the villages of Kaleköy (ancient Simena) and Üçağız (ancient Teimioussa). Kekova has an area of 4.5 km2 (2 sq mi) and is uninhabited.

After the Italian occupation of Kastelorizo, Kekova — which at that time was temporarily inhabited during summer because of wood harvest — was disputed between Italy and Turkey. The 1932 Convention between Italy and Turkey assigned it to Turkey.

On its northern side there are the partly sunken ruins of Dolchiste/Dolikisthe, an ancient town which was destroyed by an earthquake during the 2nd century. Rebuilt and still flourishing during the Byzantine Empire period, it was finally abandoned because of Arab incursions. Tersane (meaning dockyard, as its bay was the site of an ancient city Xera and dockyard, with the ruins of a Byzantine church) is at the northwest of the island.

The Kekova region was declared a specially protected area on 18 January 1990 by Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forest. All kinds of diving and swimming were prohibited and subject to special permits from governmental offices. In later years the prohibition has been lifted except for the part where the sunken city is.

The Kekova region is 260 km2 (100 sq mi) and encompasses the island of Kekova, the villages of Kaleköy and Üçağız and the four ancient towns of Simena, Aperlae, Dolchiste and Teimioussa.

Kaleköy (locally just Kale) (ancient Simena) is a Lycian site on the Turkish coast. It is a small village with the partly sunken ruins of Aperlae[1] and a castle. Access to the village is possible only by sea.

Üçağız (ancient name, Teimioussa) is a village one km from Kaleköy, north of a small bay by the same name, with the ruins of Teimioussa to the east. The name Üçağız means three mouths, referring to the three exits to open sea.

Skąd pochodził św. #Mikołaj? Odpowiedź na to pytanie może was zaskoczyć! Wbrew komercyjnemu utożsamianiu wizerunku świętego z leciwym starszym brodaczem z Laponii, korzeni tej tradycji szukać należy na terenach dzisiejszej Turcji. To z Mirą związany był bowiem biskup Mikołaj, który zasłynął swoją dobroczynnością oraz dokonanymi cudami.

Demre Myra (General Information)

Kale (Demre, Myra)
Well known for being the hometown of Santa Claus, Kale is an important faith tourism spot in Antalya.

History

The foundation date of Myra is not known exactly. However, the archaeological data, obtained from the researches in the grave reliefs with regard to style, indicates that the city has existed in the 5th century before Hellenistic Period. The city experienced its golden period during the 2nd century AD. Myra, completely destroyed by the earthquake in 141 AD., was rebuilt by the charities of the rich Opromaos from Radiopolis and Lucius Magnun, Roman Proconsul. Artemis Eleutera Sacred Place in the city was also rebuilt. Having been renovated in this period, the theatre with its ornaments was characterised as a wonder of the world in the Late Antique Period. Some of the numerous masks ornamenting this stage building are exhibited in the Demre Museum and some in the Antalya Museum.

During the reign of Theodosius II (408-450 AD.), the city became the Metropolitan of the Lycians. In this period, the reputation of the city as the centre of pilgrimage where diseases having been cured spread not only in Lycia but also throughout the Christian World. The reason for this is that Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) has lived here in Myra in this period.

Summers are hot and dry, winters mild and rainy.

Myra, Turkey

Ancient Greek theatre of Myra.
Myra is an ancient town in Lycia, where the small town of Kale (Demre) is situated today in present day Antalya Province of Turkey.

Archaeological Tour South-West Turkey.3.Мира (город)

Ми́ра (греч. Μύρα) — город в конфедерации древней Ликии, близ моря, на реке Андрак, у устья которой была гавань Андриаке, согласно легенде в этой гавани пристал к берегу апостол Павел перед своим отправлением в Рим. Территориально город был расположен рядом с современным небольшим городом Демре (Кале; тур. Demre (Kale)) в Турции (провинция Анталья).Почитание св. Николая

В эпоху христианства Мира также смогла сохранить свою значимость, так как в 300 году н. э. Николай из Патары, известный в православной традиции как Николай Чудотворец, пройдя обучение в Ксанфе, стал епископом Миры, где он проповедовал вплоть до самой смерти в 343 г. Он был погребен в этой церкви. Вскоре после смерти Николая Угодника произошло несколько чудесных исцелений среди верующих, приходивших поклониться его праху, и Мира стала местом паломничества и святой веры. В западном мире Святой Николай (Санта-Клаус) стал восприниматься как заступник детей, которым он приносит подарки в Рождественскую ночь.

Церковь неоднократно разрушалась во время арабских набегов, особенно сильные разрушения пришлись на 1034 год. Византийский император Константин IX Мономах и его жена Зоя дали указания окружить церковь крепостной стеной, преобразовав церковь в монастырь. В мае 1087 года итальянским купцам удалось завладеть мощами святого и перевезти их в Бари, где его объявили святым покровителем города. Мощи святого по настоящее время хранятся в соборе этого города. Согласно легенде, когда итальянские монахи открыли саркофаг, от мощей Святого распространился пряный запах миры.

В 1863 Александр II купил монастырь, начались работы по его восстановлению, которые вскоре были остановлены. В 1963 году на территории монастыря были проведены значительные раскопки. Были обнаружены цветные мозаики из цветного мрамора, остатки настенной живописи.
Myra is an ancient town in Lycia, where the small town of Kale (Demre) is situated today in present day Antalya Province of Turkey. It was located on the river Myros (Demre Çay), in the fertile alluvial plain between Alaca Dağ, the Massikytos range and the Aegean Sea.The earliest church of St. Nicholas at Myra was built in the 6th century. The present-day church was constructed mainly from the 8th century onward; a monastery was added in the second half of the 11th century.

In 1863, Tsar Alexander II of Russia purchased the building and began restoration, but the work was never finished. In 1963 the eastern and southern sides of the church were excavated. In 1968 the former

The floor of the church is made of opus sectile, a mosaic of coloured marble, and there are some remains of frescoes on the walls. An ancient Greek marble sarcophagus had been reused to bury the Saint; but his bones were stolen in 1087 by merchants from Bari, and are now held in the cathedral of that city

Myra Ruins Rock Cut Tombs. Lycian Turkey - Ancient Site of Myra, Lycia 2018. Travel to Turkey 2018.

Ruins of Ancient Myra and Lycian Rock Tombs at Demre 2018. Myra - Turkish Culture Portal. Hello Guys. In this video we will continue to show you the sights of the ancient city of Lycians - Myra.
Myra strikes with its rock tombs. Only for the sake of this scene it is worth coming here! Residents of Lycia believed that the higher a person is buried, the closer his soul will be to heaven, and hence to heavenly life. Therefore, the tombs were carved one above the other. And the richer and nobler the person, the more his tomb was placed above others. Some tombs are made in the form of a house. On the tombs are preserved Lycian inscriptions, many of them have not yet been deciphered.
The Lycians assumed that in this form the tombs would last for centuries, unlike the ancient temples built. As experience has shown, usually the conquerors and newly arrived generations dismantled the temples for their needs, not caring at all about their safety, and used as building materials. And rock structures for such purposes were not suitable. So the tombs survived to our times.
Now the tombs are empty – there's nothing left. And once there were stored not only the body of the deceased, but also different valuables, that human acquired during life - expensive clothes, household items, gold and jewelry. In the tombs for a long time, all the wealth of the deceased was preserved, since it was considered a serious crime to open and take something. Even the Romans did not dare to disturb the spirit of the departed into the other world.
In the 7th century, the inhabitants of Myra were forced to leave their inhabited lands. Because of the earthquake, the local river changed its course, and mud flows flooded the city.
