This is the supposed final resting place of St. Nicholas, the Christian martyr who inspired the Christmas story of Santa Claus. This old orthodox church is a spiritual pilgrimage destination and is also beautiful for its history and architecture. The Myra ruins are nearby, so both can be seen in sequence. The drive from Kas takes 30 minutes, and 50 minutes if one takes the scenic coastal route.
