Demre is a district of Antalya.
Demre is a municipality and district of Antalya Province, Turkey. Its area is 329 square kilometres (127 sq mi), and its population is 27,691 (2022). It was named after the river Demre. Demre is the Lycian town of Myra, the home of Saint Nicholas of Myra. The district was known as Kale until it was renamed in 2005. A substantial Christian community of Greeks lived in Demre until the 1920s when they migrated to Greece as part of the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey. A small population of Turkish farmers moved into the region when the Greeks migrated. The region is popular with tourists today, particularly Christian pilgrims who visit the tomb of Saint Nicholas.

Antalya
Antalya combines a working Mediterranean city with a coastline of beaches, cliffs and ancient harbours. Kaleiçi, Hadrian's Gate, the waterfalls and the nearby Roman cities of Perge and Aspendos make it a natural base for the Turquoise Coast.
