Detailed itinerary

1

Starting a trip to Kekova Island from Kaş is an excellent choice. You can enjoy what the town offers before or after your memorable journey on the water. The boat trip to Kekova leaves from Ucagiz/Demre harbour at 10:30 a.m.

2

Camlik Bay can be found on the furthest side of the beach leading to Demre harbour. It is a beautiful, relaxed bay with untouched nature and an abundance of pine trees.

The soft sound of twittering birds is also strongly noticeable, due to the location of the bay where it is protected from the emerging wind that often blows in from the west.

The white sandy seabed creates an effect that turns the water into a crystal-clear and turquoise delight. So don’t forget to bring your snorkel gear, because it is a truly wonderful bay to explore underwater.

3

Swimming and lunch break.

Tersane Bay, located on Kekova Island, is the starting point of the Sunken City. Take advantage of your time here as you observe the interesting underwater ruins, including church, castle, and wall remains.

4

Cool off during a whopping one-hour swim break in this picturesque bay next to Kekova Island and be dazzled by its beauty.

5

Our boat will drop anchor in Kaleköy port (ancient Simena) for one hour, giving you time to visit this small authentic village which is home to castle ruins and a necropolis. A hike up the hillside will provide you with 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.

6

Final call for relaxation! İnönü Bay is an excellent spot for swimming and snorkelling in the shimmering blue waters, giving you the chance for underwater exploration before we head back to Kaş.

7
Stop 7

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?

8

Once we have visited all of the stops on this action-packed itinerary, we will sail back to the harbour, where you can enjoy what the town has to offer or relax after your memorable day.
