🎅 Santa Claus Was Real — And He Lived in Turkey 🇹🇷 | Explore His Real Home (4K Walking Tour) Most people imagine Santa Claus living at the North Pole ❄️ But the real Santa Claus — Saint Nicholas — actually lived, preached, and was buried here in Turkey, in the ancient town of Demre. In this immersive 4K no-commentary walking tour, we explore the legendary Saint Nicholas Church, the real home of Saint Nicholas — the historical figure who inspired the modern Santa Claus tradition celebrated around the world today.
