Myra Limestone — known internationally as Limra or Antalya Limestone — is the bone-white, matt, slip-friendly limestone architects specify when polished marble would be wrong for a wet, outdoor or façade zone.
There is a reason specifiers reach for limestone instead of marble on a façade or around a pool: it reads warm and natural without the glare, the slip risk or the fragility of a polished surface. Myra is exactly that stone — a clean bone-white to light beige that holds its tone across large façade runs and outdoor floors, where unity matters more than drama. The Antalya/Demre quarries it comes from have supplied Mediterranean architecture for decades, which is why it sits so naturally on a white villa or a sun-lit terrace.
It works for villas, boutique hotels, terraces, pool surrounds, gardens, wall cladding, stairs and bathrooms. As a natural limestone from selected Turkish blocks, its shade, fossil movement and texture carry a natural variation — part of the appeal, and something we control by verifying live slabs before any order is confirmed. For façade and load-bearing work we request the source-specific test data and EU compliance documents, rather than copying figures from a different quarry. You specify with numbers, not with a render.
Why specifiers choose Myra
· Right stone for the job — matt, textured finishes engineered for wet, outdoor and façade zones, not a polished surface forced outdoors.
· The bone-white tone — cleaner and brighter than ordinary beige limestone; reads crisp on Mediterranean façades.
· Façade-grade documentation — CE marking, Declaration of Performance and EN test reports on request for EU procurement.
· Tonal consistency at scale — stable colour for large continuous façade and floor areas.
· Verified before you commit — live slab/bundle photos, real sizes and finish confirmation before quotation.
· One sourcing desk — block, factory and port coordinated through a single contact.
Available forms: slabs, tiles, cut-to-size, steps, risers, wall cladding panels, pool coping; blocks subject to stock.
Thickness: 2 cm and 3 cm standard; custom for project orders.
Finishes: honed, brushed, tumbled, sandblasted, bush-hammered; polished where suitable. For outdoor/wet/poolside areas, textured finishes are recommended for slip performance.
Best use areas: façades, pool surrounds, terraces, gardens, villas, boutique hotels, wall cladding, flooring, stairs, bathrooms.
Technical data (indicative — confirmed per block with current test report): Limestone · Origin Türkiye / Antalya region · Colour bone white to cream beige · Density ~2.40–2.70 g/cm³ · Mohs 3–4 · Water absorption ~0.2–2.5% · Compressive strength ~45–120 MPa · Flexural strength ~5–14 MPa · Frost resistance conditional (confirmed per finish & thickness) · Acid sensitivity high (seal, avoid acidic cleaners) · Not translucent. Final certified values are issued from the source-specific EN test report for the selected block.
Project confirmation: shade, texture, porosity and fossil movement vary block to block — normal for natural limestone. For façades, pool surrounds and cold-climate projects we confirm water absorption, frost resistance, slip rating, finish and thickness against your specification before production.
Before quotation we confirm current stock, live slab/bundle photos, sizes, thickness, finish, packing, technical suitability and FOB port, so the offer reflects real, available material.
Price: indicative from USD ~35/m² FOB (2026 market reference — final price depends on selection, thickness, finish, quantity and port).
FOB port: Antalya, İzmir or Mersin by block/factory location. As an Antalya-region stone, FOB Antalya is usually most competitive.
Packing: slabs in bundles or A-frames; tiles and cut-to-size in fumigated wooden crates; full export packing for sea freight.
