Today we went on an excursion to the church of St. Nicholas, to the place of his burial and then went to the flooded city of Kekova. It is interesting and informative. But all this is thanks to our Coral Travel guide named Erdogan. We were just lucky to have him. If it wasn't for his fascinating story all the way both in the temple and on the way on the ship, it would have been banal stuff from Coral. There is something to compare it with. We constantly take excursions from Coral, but today it is the highest class of intelligence and knowledge shown by Erdogan. Passionate about the history of his country, he tried to convey information clearly to all of us. I am proud of my country, thank him very much! He speaks Russian very well and correctly, respectfully and it was a pleasure to listen to him! We ask you to raise his salary! Thanks to such professionals, the level of service from the company as a whole increases and we will remember it for a long time!

While on vacation in Turkey, we were lucky enough to visit such a wonderful place - the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the ancient city of Demre (formerly Mira) where St. Nicholas the Wonderworker lived and preached.I was glad to see with my own eyes this is such an important place for the Orthodox, although for Turkey it is a historical museum and excursions take place there, but this does not lose its importance.nearby there is a church shop where you can buy icons, candles, all of them are extremely beautiful, they are made either on Mount Athos or in the Italian city of Bari you can buy and attach to the sarcophagus, where the relics of the Saint were previously located.before the Italians kidnapped them.having visited this wonderful place, I still think it's probably for the best that now the relics are kept in Bari, because the Italians greatly honor Nicholas the Wonderworker and services are held there, they honor him on a grand scale, from small to large!Unfortunately, I found out late that the archaeological museum in Antalya also houses the holy relics of the Wonderworker, there was no time to visit him!

A holy place for every Orthodox. Entrance to the territory of the temple museum is paid, and the time spent is unlimited. We arrived on our own, without an excursion. There is a large parking area next to the temple where you can park your car for free. There is a Greek cafe nearby. Visit the large gift shop in front of the temple. On my first visit in the early 2000s, they sold pumpkin Santa Claus figurines everywhere))), now I haven't seen it anywhere.…
