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.

St Nicholas Church transfer — frequently asked questions
Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.
Tap a question to view details.
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.
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.
