Demre, Myra 🇹🇷 Ancient City 🗺️ Walking Tour [4K] #4kwalk #walkingtour #demre #myra #antique

🇹🇷 I invite you to walk with me through the ruins of the ancient city of Myra, which is now called Demre! You will be able to see in detail the famous Lycian tombs - ancient sarcophagus located right in the rocks. It’s worth coming here just for this spectacle! The Lycians believed that they should bury the dead as high as possible in the sky, this would help them get to heaven faster. The higher a person was buried, the richer he was. Some tombs are made in the shape of a house. Lycian inscriptions have been preserved on the tombs, many of them have not yet been deciphered. 🏛️ Next to the tombs is a large Greco-Roman amphitheater. If the tombs date back to the 4th century BC, then the theater was built already in the 4th century AD. This huge amphitheater, which can accommodate up to 10 thousand people, has been destroyed by earthquakes and rebuilt more than once. Performances, gladiator fights, and entertainment events took place here. 🗺️ The modern city of Demre is located 150 km from Antalya. It is located not on the seashore itself, but 5 km from the coast. The ruins of the city of Mira are located approximately 2.5 km from the city center of Demre. 🗺️ https://maps.app.goo.gl/R8dYRDP8zP2VUQ4M6 #walking #antiquecity #türkiye #travel #turkey #attraction #traveldestination #citytour #walkingwithkate #walk4k #turkeytour #walkingtour4k #antalya2024 #turkeytravel #ruins #oldcity #travelblogger #ancient #ancientcity #bestturkey #bestplaces #walkingwithkate
