ЛИКИЙСКИЕ ГРОБНИЦЫ, ЦЕРКОВЬ СВЯТОГО НИКОЛАЯ - маленькое путешествие в Демре Анталия Турция #влог

Hello everyone, dear viewers of the Turkish People channel. Today we have an excursion program. We will visit historical places. In general, it will be interesting, stay on our channel. We shoot all the most interesting things about Antalya. The fact that it is easy to get there by car, not alone with children. I am sure that many of you have been to these places. Then refresh your memory, remember those moments that you spent here. Keep watching us. We are going to the city of Demre. We are driving along the world sign. And we went to the center of the city. The center of Demre, of course, is the Tatar Square. Pedestrian tourists. And we are going in the same direction. Souvenirs. They bring excursions here. 3 pieces, 5 dollars. The bus card for the Turks is 60 liras. And just a ticket costs 300 liras. The city of Demre was located 5 km from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The ruins of the Greek-Roman theater and the tombs carved into the rocks have been preserved from the city. The inhabitants of ancient Lycia had a custom of burying the dead in high places. This will help them get to heaven faster. The Myryas were one of the largest cities of the Lycian Union. From the 3rd to the 2nd century BC, they minted their own coins. The decline began in the 7th century, when the city was destroyed during the raids of the Arabs. The Greek-Roman theater Myrya, semicircular in shape, was built in the 2nd century AD. Its diameter is about 110 meters, 35 rows, and it could accommodate up to 10,000 people. The theater was repeatedly destroyed by earthquakes, but was always quickly restored. In the 12th century, it was partially buried, like the ancient Myrya, under the power flows, turning back the Myrya River due to strong earthquakes. When you get into the buildings of antiquity, you think, how could they build it? We are trying to read what is written in ancient Greek. Why do all the tourists go up? Because from there the best view will be. What a delicate work. Masks. In the late 90s of the 20th century, archaeologists began to dig out the ancient theater from the ground. We go up the main stairs. There is an excursion in Turkish. We went up to the top. Now we go up to the second floor. We can go even higher. Now we go up to the top. There are steps here. And we can take a closer look at the tombs. Last year we were in the ancient city of Limra. There was even free access to the tombs. Here is a gorgeous view of the whole arena. And from here you can see the sea. The city was not near the sea. Although it was a port city. There were tourists here. And they disappeared. Climbed over the fence. And went to look for adventure. What can you see there? Actually, nothing. The tombs have long been plundered. Now we will go down. And going down is much more difficult and dangerous than going up. If your physical condition is not very good. Then you will not go up these steps. And you will not see anything interesting. We came to the rock tombs. From the 4-5th century BC. Most of them have inscriptions in Lycian. Some of them are in ancient Greek. Very similar to the city. This is the city of the dead. Lycian tombs Lycian tombs are one of the oldest tombs in the world. People come in and look. No one chases them. Although there is a fence. And here you can go in. There is nothing scary there now. There is nothing there for a long time. This is what the tombs look like. Very small room. Almost every tomb consists of two rooms. And inside it is a sarcophagus. There is a tomb very high. At the very top of the rock. Each family had its own. The facades of the tombs were similar to houses or temples. It is noteworthy that all the tombs are connected by stone stairs. This is from the ancient theater. Everything that was found was carefully put here. I want to show you the fortress wall at the top of the mountain. It is not visible from afar. You can see it from a distance. This is where the Turkish flag was raised. This is from a later period. You can see everything here very quickly. We are going to the church of St. Nicholas. The church is in the opposite direction. When you go there, there are no signs. 39 degrees, can you imagine? It's much hotter here than in Antalya. In Antalya, it was 32 degrees during the day. And it doesn't feel that way. Here the air is drier. Higher, I don't know. More hot. Passage to the church. There are signs. Tourist buses are also here. You can easily get here. Yes, this is also a museum. The cost to enter here is 390 lira for a tourist. Audio guide is 90 lira. Children, citizens. Free. Mom bought one for 60 lira. You can go to such museums for free for a whole year. Not paying. We go down to the church. During the time, the soil has risen a lot. It used to be at this level. St. Nicholas. Bishop Nicholas. This is a real historical figure. He was a bishop in the city of Myra. He was born in Batara. And since 300 years he has been a bishop here. St. Nicholas Memorial Museum. Church of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker. Everything is told in Russian. If you want to read. The church was covered with a roof and a sarcophagus. So that it does not collapse further. Frescoes of the 11th and 12th centuries. They are well preserved. Ancient mosaic floor. So that we do not damage it, the passage is closed. The church is made in the form of a cross. Church courtyard. The main shrine of the church. The sarcophagus of St. Nicholas is here. Yes, I say sarcophagus. Because his relics are no longer in this church. And in the Italian city of Bari. They were carved in the 11th century by sailors. Here St. Nicholas is considered a patron of sailors. Frescoes. Sculpture of St. Nicholas. In 2000. Made and presented to this temple. We leave under such an impression. Very ancient building. It is worth a tour here. Not only Russian-speaking guides. But there are also Turkish excursions here. So do not think that the history of the local residents is not interesting. Noelle Baba. The prototype of Santa Claus. With children. A bag of gifts. And again we can look. At the temple from the side. Very quiet place. Surrounded by mountains. Icon center. You can see icons. First they take icons. Then they go to the temple. Good spiritual education. You can walk.
