Myra is located 150 km west of Antalya along the coast. The ancient Greek citizens worshiped Artemis, who was the protective goddess of the town Myra. Artemis was the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, and chastity.
There are two necropolis with rock-cut tombs in the form of temple fronts carved into the vertical faces of cliffs. A semi-circular theater was destroyed in an earthquake in 141, but rebuilt afterwards.
