Andriake Attractions

At the extreme southeastern tip of the Yavu mountain region, the ancient River Andrakos meets the plain of Kale (Demre/Myra). At this point a wide marshy valley extends out on both sides of the river between the mountain region and the coastal hills of Myra and Andriake. The name of Antiochos III was linked with the town of Andriake as early as 197 B.C.

The ancient harbor is now marshland. The Andrakos flows down from its source in the karst rock passing an ancient water-mill and divides the town into north and south. The north town is mainly sand dunes with a still recognizable ruined church.
