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.
Climate
Summers are hot and dry, winters mild and rainy.
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

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.

Full Walk of Myra örenyeri demre Turkey ABANDONED URBEX Tombs & Amphitheater HD
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.

Demre Myra Kekova by Calypso Tour | Экскурсия Демре Мира Кекова
Демре (Мира) входит в число самых посещаемых городов Турции. Один из центров распространения христианства, место, где жил и проповедовал Николай из Патры, известный в православной традиции как Николай Чудотворец или Николай Угодник. Сын моряка (отсюда его статус покровителя мореплавателей), он прошел обучение в Ксанфе и стал епископом Миры, где проповедовал примерно с 310 г. нашей эры и до самой смерти в 343 г. Сразу же после смерти святителя Николая Чудотворца была построена церковь, где он и был захоронен в мраморном саркофаге. Изначально церковь была уничтожена землетрясением, и на её месте возвели базилику, разрушенную в 7 веке арабами. Современная крестообразная базилика построена в 8 веке. Саркофаг, в котором изначально находились мощи святителя Николая, находится в южном нефе церкви, расположенном между двумя колоннами позади разрушенной мраморной перегородки. В нем, как полагают, и был захоронен Николай Чудотворец.
---
Руины древнего города Мира находятся в 2 км к северу от центра Демре и являются одним из наиболее легкодоступных археологических участков Турции. От города сохранились развалины великолепного греко-римского театра и высеченные в скалах гробницы. Уникальность и своеобразие Ликийских гробниц можно объяснить тем, что у народов Ликии существовал обычай хоронить мёртвых на возвышенных местах, так как предполагалось, что это поможет им попасть на небо.

Кекова – небольшой остров в Средиземном море близ города Каш. После Первой мировой войны и занятия Италией соседнего острова Кастелоризо, Кекова длительное время являлся спорной территорией между Италией и Турцией. По Конвенции 1932 г. остров отошёл к Турции. На северной стороне острова находятся руины античного города Долихисте, разрушенного во 2 в. н. э. землетрясением и частично ушедшие под воду. Руины многих сооружений видны над водой, некоторые дома лежат ниже уровня воды. Береговая линия острова Кекова просто усеяна античными предметами — здесь на глубине 5-6 м можно увидеть мраморные колонны, статуи, каменные лестницы, тротуары, стены домов, набережную и остатки античного порта, а в некоторых местах над поверхностью моря возвышаются крышки ликийских саркофагов.

Демре Мира Кекова РАЗВОД НА ДЕНЬГИ, ЭКСКУРСИЯ, Demre Myra Kekova
Демре-Мира-Кекова – одна из любопытных исторических экскурсий, которую предлагают почти из любого региона Турции. Тур проходит по древнему государству Ликия, существовавшему в древности на территории Анатолии. Посещаете три турецкие достопримечательности — ликийские скальные захоронения, древнюю церковь, в которой служил Николай Чудотворец, и затонувший античный город.
Демре – это современный турецкий городок, расположенный рядом с тем местом, где находился древний город Мира. Мира – это столица древнего ликийского государства. Она была основана в 5 веке до н.э. Одной из достопримечательностей города являются знаменитые скальные захоронения – высеченные в скале гробницы древних ликийцев. Сюда нас сначала и привезли. У народов Ликии существовал обычай хоронить мертвых на возвышенных местах, т.к. предполагалось, что это поможет им попасть на небо.
Рядом со скальными гробницами находится древний греко-римский амфитеатр. Театр, как и весь город, был разрушен землетрясением в 141 году н.э. Потом восстановлен и перестроен в арену для гладиаторских боёв.
Следующим местом, которое мы посетили, была Церковь Святого Николая в Демре. В этих местах когда-то жил и проповедовал Святой Николай (Николай Чудотворец), он же – Санта Клаус. Он с раннего детства посвятил себя христианству. Потом унаследовал от родителей огромное состояние и стал помогать нуждающимся и детям. Он же считался покровителем моряков.
Следующий пункт назначения – остров в средиземном море, который в результате землетрясения частично ушёл под воду. Когда-то на острове располагался древний античный город. Его руинами сейчас усеяны берега острова. Видны остатки стен, ворот, лестниц. Некоторые дома лежат ниже уровня воды.
