ITINERARY
- The Demre-Kekova Private Tour can be scheduled at a convenient time for you, but we suggest starting at 10 am to ensure we can visit all the incredible destinations.
- As the morning sun begins to light up the sea, the boat sets sail from the harbour towards its first destination.
- Join us on a one-of-a-kind journey around the Sunken City of Kekova and uncover its intriguing history. The city of Dolchiste, which dates back to ancient times, was submerged in water following an earthquake in the 2nd century. Today, its submerged ruins continue to amaze visitors.
- As this area is safeguarded, swimming is not allowed. However, a great alternative is to tour the site by boat and capture amazing photos while cruising alongside the ruins.
- Enjoy a refreshing swim break at the stunning Aquarium Bay and bask in the warm sunshine.
- We will anchor our boat at Kaleköy port, also known as ancient Simena, for an hour. During this time, you can explore the charming village and its castle ruins and necropolis, which are steeped in history and authenticity.
- A hike up the hillside will give you magnificent views of the Kekova region.
- If you would rather appreciate Simena Castle from a distance, you can spend your remaining time by taking another refreshing swim in the beautiful blue waters.
- Come and take a break from the hustle and bustle of life at Burç Bay. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere while taking a refreshing swim. The water in Burç Bay is cooler, thanks to the natural underwater springs. Don't miss the chance to experience the captivating beauty of Gökkaya Bay. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters or choose from a variety of fun-filled water sports activities available.
- Explore this fascinating cave that has a naturally-formed, spacious interior and a unique curved entrance.
- Did you know that there are 8 different types of turtles found all over the world, and 5 of them can be spotted in the Mediterranean? If you visit Karemlik Bay, you might be able to observe these magnificent animals in their natural environment.
- As the day comes to a close, we will return you to Demre harbor where this private boat trip concludes. Demre is a fascinating, albeit small town, with numerous attractions to explore including historical landmarks, beaches, and the Lycian Way hiking trail.
