About this place
St Nicholas Church, Demre
St Nicholas Church is a Byzantine basilica in Demre on Turkey's southern coast, 157 km and 2 hours 33 minutes by road from Antalya Airport.
St Nicholas Church in Demre marks the resting place of the 4th-century bishop whose legend became Santa Claus. The Byzantine basilica shelters frescoes, mosaics and the stone sarcophagus traditionally linked to the saint, close to the rock-cut tombs and grand theatre of ancient Myra — together one of the most rewarding history stops on Turkey's southern coast.
Demre lies 157 km west of Antalya Airport along the coast past Finike — a drive of 2 hours 33 minutes each way. It is a committed full-day trip with no direct public transport link, so we bring you by private transfer straight to the museum entrance gate; many visitors pair the church with the Myra ruins and a Kekova boat trip to make the distance worthwhile.
St Nicholas Church is a partly roofed basilica reached on level, paved ground, more accessible than the open-air ruins nearby. The site draws coach parties around midday, so paths and the sarcophagus chamber feel more crowded then. The Myra tombs and theatre sit a few minutes away by car.
Practical information
- Time Needed
- Allow about an hour at the church itself, more if you continue on to the Myra ruins nearby.
- Footwear & Terrain
- The basilica floor is flat and partly roofed; flat, comfortable shoes are enough — no climbing or rough ground.
- Shade & Water
- Much of the interior is roofed and shaded; bring water for the walk between the church and Myra.
- Best Time of Day
- Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday coach-tour crowds that fill the sarcophagus chamber.
Why MovXtra for your St Nicholas Church transfer?
4 key benefits
Benefit 2
Drop-off at the museum entrance gate
St Nicholas Church sits in the centre of Demre town. Your driver takes you straight to the museum entrance gate — no navigating side streets or asking directions on arrival.
Benefit 3
Licensed and insured
MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, so your 2-hour-33-minute ride to Demre runs under proper commercial cover, not a private arrangement.
Benefit 4
Driver waits at your pickup point — no searching
Your driver picks you up at the address on your booking — a hotel, a villa, or any address in the region — and sets off on the long run to Demre. If your journey opens with a flight, they wait in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall with your name on a sign. Collect your bags and go — no taxi queues, no haggling over the fare.
Private transfer vs. taxi
A taxi to Demre runs on the meter for the full 2-hour-33-minute drive, with the fare climbing as you go and no fixed quote until arrival. A private transfer is agreed in advance — one price for the full trip, with a driver who already knows the route.
Planning Your Return Trip
For a day trip this size, your driver and vehicle stay with you rather than leaving after drop-off. Agree your pick-up time at the church, explore Myra at your own pace, and the same car takes you back to the airport.

Verified on GoogleView all reviews on Google“We booked a private transfer with MovXtra before arriving in Turkey, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication via both email and WhatsApp was quick, friendly, and professional. We were a group of 14 people, and during our holiday we used their services for several transfers. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, the driver was friendly and helpful, and every journey went perfectly. 🚐👌 There is honestly nothing we could fault. We will definitely use MovXtra again on our future trips to Antalya. Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced private transfer service in Antalya. 🙏🇹🇷”
“I used Movxtra for both my airport transfers in Antalya — from the airport to my hotel and then back to the airport. I was very satisfied with the service from start to finish. The website is very easy to use, with clear and fixed prices, and there is no need to pay in advance. You simply pay the driver after arriving at your destination, which I found very convenient. Their WhatsApp communication is also excellent — they respond extremely quickly. After making the booking, I recommend contacting them directly on WhatsApp, as it makes communication even faster and easier. Both drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, spacious, and had good air conditioning. I would definitely recommend Movxtra, especially if you want a reliable airport transfer without having to pay upfront. The fixed price and payment upon arrival make the whole process simple and stress-free. Very good service and definitely a company I would use again!”
“Everything was great, thank you! The transfer went very smoothly, and the drivers were punctual, professional, and very kind. We really appreciated the service.”

St Nicholas Church transfer — frequently asked questions
Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.
Tap a question to view details.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle, not per person. The fixed fare covers the whole car for up to the vehicle's seating capacity, so a family or group travels to Demre for one price rather than paying per head.
Does the driver wait, or do I need to book a separate return transfer?
For a full-day trip like Demre, the same driver and vehicle stay with you rather than making two separate bookings. Agree a pick-up time and location before you set off, and the driver will be there when you're ready to head back.
How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to St Nicholas Church, Demre?
The drive from Antalya Airport to St Nicholas Church in Demre covers 157 km and takes 2 hours 33 minutes, whether by private transfer or taxi on the meter. There is no direct public transport service between the airport and Demre.
Where do I meet my driver, and where does the transfer drop me off?
Your driver meets you at the pickup address you enter when booking — your hotel, villa or any address in the region. Arriving on a flight? They meet you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, just past baggage claim. At the other end, you're dropped directly at the museum entrance gate of St Nicholas Church in the centre of Demre town.
Can I request a child seat, and how much luggage can the vehicle take?
Yes. One child seat is free on request — tell us the child's age when you book. If you need more than one, tell us too: we can't promise it, but we will do our best. Standard vehicles carry the usual airport-suitcase allowance per passenger; let us know in advance if your group is travelling with extra bags or bulky items.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
If your trip starts at Antalya Airport, we check your flight before pickup and adjust it to your actual landing time at no extra cost. Waiting is free for up to 90 minutes after landing; if the delay is unusual or outside anyone's control, please message or call us.
