Myra was a leading city of the Lycian Union and surpassed Xanthos in early Byzantine times to become the capital city of Lycia. Most of the ancient city is now covered by Demre and alluvial silts, as it is located on the river Demre River in a fertile alluvial plain.
The date of Myra’s foundation is unknown. There is no literary mention of it before the first century B.C., when it was said to be one of the six leading cities of the Lycian Union (the other five were Xanthos, Tlos, Pinara, Patara and Olympos). It is believed to date back much further, as an outer defensive wall has been dated to the 5th century BC.
Note: New open air museum under construction at Andriake focusing on the Lycian civilisation
