Best Greek Orthodox church in Turkey

I	Iryna Omelchenko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It costs 70tl (dec 2021) and it definitely doesn't worth its price. Small, couple floor mosaisc, couple paintings, and a few sarcophags and columns (that you can see in pretty every historical spot in Likya). Nothing to see unless you are very religious.
P	Páťa Páťa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It depends on what are you expecting. If you want to stay on the place where St. Nikolaos ("Santa") worked and was buried, it is good place for you. If you want to see something very nice and very special, there are many other places to visit. There is just a church and the statue of St. Nikolaos + 1 modern mosaic in front of the church. And a statue of Santa in front of the shop next to the church. See pictures and decide...
L	Lyubov Evstratova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Third time in this place. Really wonderful place. Great emotions and atmosphere. You feel the power of this place. But it's better to visit yourself without tourists and during usual working days. 1,5 hours from Kemer by car. The price for adult 30 Turkish liras. Kids before 8years old free.
M	Marius Musat on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ it is a unique experience with a beautiful history lesson! I recommend it with confidence to everyone! It's worth visiting!
S	Serhii Kryzhanovskyi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were at that place with my family. Historical and divine place. Those who were in Jerusalem or Meke will understand me. I advise you to take the icon at home, those that are sold at the market of high quality and the price is too high. We visited this place as part of an excursion. You can buy a ticket yourself and purchase an audioguide. We liked it, I advise you to visit. Have a nice rest
S	Sofiya Pavliak on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The price is too expensive (70 TL). They don't really care about the territory and quickly change prices for the tickets (from 30 TL to 70 TL).
G	Gozde U. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (September 2021)Not really impressive. It is not well maintained. Price went up from 36tl to 70tl. Since ticket prices are changing so quickly and very often, they did not even have time to update the tickets. Myra ancient city is 2 km away from this place. You may consider to invest your money to that place instead of this church.
C	Charles Reeves on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting place, loved what was left of the wall painting carvings. St. Nick actually born in a town near by. Burial tomb still mostly intact in Church.
