We will take a look at where the historical Santa Claus Museum is located in the Demre region between Antalya and Kaş and Finike, which is the most important province of the Mediterranean Region. Each year, local foreign holidaymakers are interested in visiting the kilter. The visit of many people around the world by believers in Santa Claus is helping to promote our country to the world.

St. Nicholas I.S. He was born in Patara in the second half of the 3rd century and made bishopric in Myra. It was the first saint of many European countries, especially the Russian Tsarist. St. Nicholas, who had reached the rank of sainthood after being killed for his religious personality, was liked in America as well as one of the saints who protected New York.

It is said that St. Nicholas died at the age of 65 on December 6, 343. After the death of the Myrans, they built this church in his name and believed that the sarcophagus would be immortal in this church. Some of the merchants who came here during the Crusades are bombarded with bones still stolen and buried there while stealing their bones to Bari.

Despite living in the Mediterranean and never seeing any snow, it has been transformed into a loving elderly man who believes that Christmas gifts were distributed to children on Christmas days with sleds pulled by card deer because of their protective nature. So this church, with its bones, was called the Santa Claus Museum. The Mediterranean shipwalkers also loved St. Nicholas and had great respect for him.

This church is the most important monument of the Middle Byzantine period, both in architecture and basilica, in Myra (capital of Lycia).

After the death of Saint Nicholas of Myrrh, this church has been repaired as it was damaged, carrying traces of different periods. Firstly, the Santa Claus among the greens greets visitors when passing through the garden.

The church consists of two inner courtesy courts with a main courtyard, a central space with a dome in the middle surrounded by side aisles, bema and its apse parts in front of it. The corridor on the southern side was considered to be the most suitable place for the protection of St. Nicholas' sarcophagus, and it was believed that the sarcophagus was protected under the niches in the eastern part. There are two more rooms on the north-eastern and western corners of Kilisen.

Where to Stay: You can stay in boutique and small hotels if you want to wake up with bird sounds in Demre, which stands out with its historical and natural beauties and sea. By staying at boutique hotels built without spoiling nature, you can relax and enjoy the Santa Claus Museum and other historical treasures.

Footnote: Demre, which is located on the western coast of the Mediterranean, is a tourist destination with its historical and geographical position, but there are no night clubs where crazy entertainments are made. In this sense, it is a place preferred by those who want to have peace and quiet. You can find many works to visit in Demre. Here you can enjoy both cultural activities and wonderfully beautiful views.
