We depart at 09:00 and then  proceed to Church & Tomb of Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) which is an ancient Byzantine Greek Church located in modern-day town of Demre, Antalya. Its usage is dated from its 6th century construction until its final abandonment in 1923, when the remaining Greek natives of Demre were required to leave by the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey. It is notable for being the burial place of St. Nicholas of Myra which is an important religious figure for Eastern Orthodox Christians and Roman Catholics and the historical inspiration for Santa Claus. The Church is on UNESCO’s tentative list to become a World Heritage Site in Demre. After our programme there we proceed to Phaselis Ancient City which was a Greek and Roman city on the coast of ancient Lycia. Its ruins are located north of the modern town Tekirova in Kemer district of Antalya in Turkey. It lies between the Bey Mountains and the forests of Olympos National Park, 16 kilometres south of the tourist town of Kemer. Phaselis and other ancient towns around the shore can also be accessed from the sea by daily yacht tours. The town was set up by the Rhodians in 700 BC. Because of its location on an isthmus separating two harbours, it became the most important harbour city of eastern Lycia and an important centre of commerce between Greece, Asia, Egypt, and Phoenicia, although it did not belong to the Lycian League. The city was captured by Persians after they conquered Asia Minor. Cimon, in 468 BC, attacked the city and it was enrolled in the Delian Confederacy. Later it was captured by Alexander the Great. After the death of Alexander, the city remained in Egyptian hands from 209 BC to 197 BC, under the dynasty of Ptolemaios, and with the conclusion of the Apamea treaty, was handed over to the Rhodian Peraia, together with the other cities of Lycia. From 190 BC to 160 BC it remained under Rhodeian hegemony, but after 160 BC it was absorbed into the Lycian confederacy under Roman rule. When the Seljuqs began to concentrate on Alanya and Antalya as ports, Phaselis ceased to be a port of any note. There was a temple of Athene at Phaselis, where the lance of Achilles was exhibited. It was the birthplace of the poet and orator Theodectes. It was also renowned for its roses, from which the essence was extracted. After our programme ends there, we will be transferred to our hotel.
