From Kas: Day Trip to Kekova, Demre and Myra

Kaş is a town that has something for everyone, with its lively centre, boutique shops, amazing sunsets, and incredible views of the coastline. With this tour, you can explore sites further afield with ease, as we start with a morning transfer from pick-up point in Kaş.

We’ll head to Demre harbour where the boat awaits you for the start of your trip to Kekova. Once the anchor is raised, away we go!

Discover the fascinating secrets of Kekova’s history on this unique adventure around the Sunken City. The ancient city of Dolchiste was flooded due to an earthquake in the 2nd century, and its resulting underwater ruins never fail to leave an impression.

Since this is a protected area, swimming is not permitted here, so what better way to explore the site than by cruising alongside the ruins on our boat, giving you the chance to capture unforgettable photos.

Our boat will drop anchor in Kaleköy port (ancient Simena) for one hour,

Giving you time to visit this small authentic village that’s home to castle ruins and a necropolis.

A hike up the hillside will give you magnificent views of the Kekova region. If you’d prefer to admire Simena Castle from down below, you can use your remaining time to take another dip in the gorgeous blue waters.
