If you're passing through Myra en route to another destination it is worth the stop. The site is interesting and has some very nice views, however it is crowded with tourists who jump over the safety fences to get good photos, and in doing so they are damaging the ruins.

Those rock cut tombs are not unique, can be seen in many places. Theatre was OK. Do not expect to see a lot of ruins.

It's not hard to find this site, and it's not far off the main highway, nor from St. Nicholas Church. So if you are in the area I definitely recommend you visit. HOWEVER, be very careful about the parking... More
