Tour Overview
The day begins with arrival at the departure point, usually Üçağız Harbor, where your private boat is prepared for departure. Guests traveling from Kaş or Kalkan can be transferred to the harbor before the tour starts.
Once onboard, the route is planned together with the captain, depending on your preferences and sea conditions. The itinerary may include several swimming stops in the Kekova region, a visit to Kaleköy (Simena) and a cruise along the sunken city.
Unlike shared tours, there is no fixed schedule. You can spend more time at certain locations, adjust the route during the day or simply enjoy a slower pace on the water.
At the end of the tour, the boat returns to the harbor, followed by transfer back to your accommodation if arranged.
Sunken City of Kekova
The sunken city is one of the most unique highlights of the region, where ancient ruins can be seen beneath the water. Cruising slowly along this area offers a different perspective of Kekova’s history.
Kaleköy (Simena)
Kaleköy is a small coastal village accessible only by sea. Guests can stop here to explore the village, enjoy the view or visit the castle overlooking the bay.
Hidden Bays & Swimming Stops
