Chauffeured Day Tour from Antalya to Demre, Myra & Kekova

The ancient Lycian coast holds some of the most quietly spectacular sights in all of the Mediterranean — cliff-carved rock tombs, a ruined theatre where gladiators once competed, and a city that vanished beneath the turquoise sea. Yet for most visitors staying in Antalya, the question is the same: how do you reach Demre, Myra and Kekova comfortably without surrendering an entire day to crowded coaches, forced shopping stops and rigid schedules?

WeCare Transfer offers a genuinely different answer: a private chauffeured day tour in a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter — just you, your companions and a professional driver at your disposal from first light to evening return.

Demre lies roughly 190 kilometres west of Antalya along the D400 coastal highway — a drive of approximately two to two-and-a-half hours depending on your departure point and pace. The road itself rewards patience: turquoise coves open between the pines, small fishing villages cling to the cliff edges, and the Taurus Mountains rise behind you as you descend toward the Demre plain.

Your WeCare chauffeur collects you from your hotel, villa or Antalya airport at a time you choose. There is no set departure window, no group to wait for. The Mercedes cabin — climate-controlled, generously spaced, Wi-Fi equipped — makes the coastal drive restful rather than tiring.

Myra is the centrepiece of the day. The Lycian rock-cut tombs carved directly into the cliff face date to the fourth century BC and remain among the best-preserved in the region. Painted details — once vivid in colour — are still partially legible, and the sheer verticality of the facade is genuinely arresting.

Believed to be the hometown of St Nicholas — the historical figure behind the Santa Claus legend — Myra also holds the Church of St Nicholas, a Byzantine basilica partially excavated and open to visitors. Your driver waits at your pace; there is no pressure to rush.

From Myra, the route continues a short distance to the Kekova area, where you can board a traditional wooden gulet or glass-bottomed boat for the crossing to the submerged ruins. The ancient city of Simena slid partially beneath the sea following earthquakes in the second century AD. Today, through clear shallow water, stone staircases, walls and amphora fragments are visible just below the surface — an eerie, beautiful sight.

Above the water, the village of Kaleköy — accessible only by boat — climbs toward a crusader castle with panoramic views across the bay.

When you are ready — after lunch at a waterfront restaurant, after one last look at the submerged stones — your WeCare chauffeur is waiting. The return journey along the coast takes the same two to two-and-a-half hours, and you arrive back at your hotel or next destination without the fatigue of a shared-bus day.

WeCare charges a fixed rate confirmed before departure. Fuel, tolls and waiting time during your sightseeing are included. There are no metered surprises, no tipping pressure, no shopping-stop commissions built into the itinerary.

For groups, the V-Class or Sprinter offers the same premium comfort at a per-head cost that competes favourably with group tour pricing — without the compromises.
