It may sound as just a first attempt to enlarge the area which can be visited in Andriake, the harbor of old Myra, today’s Demre. Most tours simply skip this city with its unique granary built by Emperor Hadrian when driving from the Myra theater or Church of St. Nicolas to get on one of the day tours to nearby Kekova Island, but this situation may soon change.
The article in the Hurriyet Daily News does not say when the true excavation work is planned to get underway, but archaeologists certainly will not start anything major this year as the season is drawing to an end. I will keep a close eye on future discoveries in Andriake to follow up on my earlier story Andriake, the port of Myra.
