Overall:
Having read the other review, we were expecting the tour to be entirely in Russian, which neither of us speak, however were very pleasantly surprised when our tour guide Olga repeated the information in English for us. We were given a full history of our desired destinations as well as the entirety of Turkiye itself.
Itinerary:
We were picked up early in the morning from our hotel and taken to see the tombs and amphitheatre first (after a stop at a cafe and shop for breakfast, not included in the price as stated). The tombs were beautiful and you are able to get close enough to look inside if you choose, as well as climb the stalls of the amphitheatre. Entry to the tombs was 11euro or 300lira per person.
Next stop for us was the church of St Nicolas (Santa Claus), entry was 14euro or roughly 400lira per person, but we personally chose not to enter.
Lastly was the boat tour of the sunken city, the site was very pretty and the boat tour was lovely; the boat was equipped with a WC and a bar, where you could purchase drinks and snacks. We were accompanied by a cat that followed us onto the boat, to be a little surprised when after his fuss he was out at sea. We then had lunch on return to Myra which was a very nice two course meal.
