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.

St. Nicholas Kilisesi Tarihe Yolculuk Demre/Antalya
Noel Baba olarak bilinen St.Nicholas (Aziz Nikola, Santa Claus, Heilige Nikolaus, Noel Baba)
M.S. 245 yılında Fethiye yakınlarında Patara kentinde doğmuş, M.S. 363 yılına değin Anadolu'
da yaşamış bir azizdir. Varlıklı bir ailenin çocuğu olarak iyi bir eğitim görmüş ve kendini
insanlara adamıştır. Yaptığı yardımlarla çevresinde sevgi bağı oluşturan St.Nicholas,
denizcilerin ve çocukların koruyucusu olarak Noel Baba adı ile bu güne değin yaşatılarak
efsaneleştirilmiştir. Demre Piskoposu olarak çevresinde yaptığı dini ve sosyal çalışmalarla
halkın sorunlarına insancıl çözümler getirmiştir. Öldükten sonra Demre'de gömülmüş ve adına
bir kilise yaptırılmıştır. St. Nicholas'ın kemiklerinin bir kısmı 1080 yılında İtalyan
tacirler tarafından Bari'ye kaçırılmıştır. Ancak acele ile götürülemediği anlaşılan bir kısım
parçaları ise bugün Antalya Müzesi'nde sergilenmektedir. Hollanda'da Sinterkoas, Fransa'da
Pere Noel, İngiltere'de Father Christmas, Amerika'da Santa Claus ve Almanya'da Heilige
Nikolaus hikayelerinin aslı St. Nicholas'dır. Bugün pek çok ülkenin baş azizi olan St.
Nicholas'ın ölüm tarihi olan 6 Aralık'ta törenler düzenlenir, çocuklara hediyeler verilir ve
bu kutlamalar Noel Yortusuna değin uzayarak yeni bir yıl özelliği kazanır. İlki 5-7 Aralık
1983 yılında yapılan Noel Baba sempozyumu o günden beri değişik din ve eğitimlerden gelen
insanların katılımlarıyla her yıl tekrarlamaktadır. Sempozyumlarda, Anadolu'lu St. Nicholas'ın
insan sevgisinden yararlanarak, dini ve inancı değişik tüm insanlara barış, dostluk ve
kardeşlik çağrısı yapılır.

The known history of Halicarnassus, which spans from Western Anatolia coasts to Aegean islands like a call and which is the largest settlement place of the Bodrum Peninsula and the peninsula, dates back to 7th century B.C. This history consists of the story of blending and commingling of Lelegs, Carians, who are the indigenous people of Anatolia, and Dors, who immigrated to this area following the War of Troy which echoes in the immortal verses of Iliad.
kekova:Nestling in the waters of the Mediterranean, just off the coast of Demre is the heavenly place called Kekova.

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. 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. A small population of Turkish farmers moved into the region when the Greek Christians were forced to migrate to Greece.The region is popular with tourists today particularly Christian pilgrims who visit the tomb of Saint Nicholas.

Türkei - Demre 1995
115 km von Antalya entfernt liegt Demre (Kale), das antike Myra, wo der heilige Nikolaus als Bischof gewirkt hat und im Jahre 342 gestorben ist. Im 5.Jh. wurde über seinem Grab eine Basilika errichtet, die im Laufe der Jahre einige Male restauriert wurde. Heute ist das Gebäude ein Museum. Jedes Jahr im Dezember finden in Demre St. Nikolaus-Gedenkfeiern statt.
Die Kirche, die Jahrhunderte lang im Schlamm des Demre-Flusses versunken war, wurde 1863 vom russischen Zaren Alexander II. erworben und teilweise wiederhergestellt. 1963 wurde die östliche und westliche Seite der Kirche ausgegraben. Seit den 1990er Jahren finden weitere türkische Grabungen an der Kirche statt.
