Plan Your Summer Routes: A Guide To Spending A Full Day At Sea In Kekova

Imagine leaving yourself to the cool, deep blue, and secret-filled arms of the Mediterranean in the scorching summer heat. This is definitely not an ordinary holiday route or a simple swimming break. It is a unique time travel where you silently glide over thousands of years old ancient settlements, sunken streets, and giant amphorae underwater.

Every time I see the ruined Lycian walls lying in the depths of those turquoise waters, believe me, I am fascinated with the same excitement as the first day. When our guests swim in these waters for the first time, they are amazed at how perfectly the past and the present merge, and they place this place in a very special spot in their memories.

While making your summer holiday plans, I wholeheartedly believe that you should leave crowded beaches and noisy facilities aside and personally experience this unique feeling with a Kekova boat tour where you will spend your entire day in a tranquil sea. In the heart of the Mediterranean, this geography where unique natural beauty and the sea intertwine does not only offer you a refreshing holiday. It also acts as a comprehensive guide telling you a deep history that will rest your soul.

Deep History Traces Around Simena Ancient City And Kalekoy

The region always deeply impresses its guests not only with its sparkling waters but also with the deep history and rooted past feeling it harbors. While cruising around this area, which is one of the most important settlement centers of the Lycian civilization, watching the magnificent ruins lying just below the water with the naked eye is an indescribable feeling.

Wandering gently on the skirts of Simena, walking slowly on those narrow, flowery, and stony paths, and tracing past ages gives one a great inner peace and tranquility. Especially the view you will encounter while climbing towards the castle is wide and impressive enough to make you instantly forget all your fatigue.

When you listen to the history of the region accompanied by a good guide, the experience behind every stone you step on moves to a much more meaningful dimension. While gliding quietly over the waters of the Sunken City by turning down the engine noise, imagining the destructive earthquakes of that period and the lives submerged underwater is one of the most striking moments of this tranquil journey.

Hidden Bays And Uninterrupted Natural Beauty Experience

In these quiet bays considered the hidden paradises of the Mediterranean, you witness hundreds of different shades of green, turquoise, and navy blue in the same day. When we drop anchor in windless, quiet stops like Gokkaya Bay or Aquarium Bay, surrendering yourself to that crystal clear cool water is magnificent. You instantly wipe away all the stress of the year from your shoulders.

In these waters where the concept of flawless natural beauty literally comes to life, swimming without rushing, listening to the sound of the water turns into spiritual purification. When you dive with a snorkel to observe the rich marine life underwater, you witness how thousands of years old ancient ruins have become a home for colorful fishes today.

If you want to experience these unique landscapes and historical texture by giving them their due and feeling every second, it is very important to choose a correctly planned Kekova boat tour route. A day spent without rushing in your program, feeling the unique texture and silence of each bay, will be one of the most valuable moments you will experience all summer.

💡 Captain Ergun's Advice: Whether you join standard daily tours or rent private tours with your family to enjoy the region; the main issue is to enjoy the sea and that calmness. We sailors always take care to choose the calmest, clearest bays according to the wind direction and sea conditions.

The most beautiful moments at sea are those when you do not look at what time it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are The Most Suitable Hours For Tours?

Full-day sea routes generally start in the morning hours when the sun fully shows its face and continue until the evening when the sun begins to lose its effect. You can rest in the shaded areas of the boat and eat a delicious lunch during the noon hours when the sun is steepest and most intense. The time frame when you can best observe the natural beauty elements is the first hours of the morning when the water is the clearest.

Can Non Swimmers Benefit From This Experience?

Absolutely anyone can join this relaxing experience without any worries. For the safety of our guests, there are enough life jackets and swimming aids that make it easy to stay comfortably on the water ready on the boats. Since the hidden bays we visit are extremely calm, even those without swimming experience can safely enter the sea.

What Is The Main Difference Between Daily Tours And Private Tours?

Daily programs are more social options where different vacationers come together and cover the most popular spots of the region. Private tours, on the other hand, are a boutique experience that allocates the boat only for your use, where you can decide which bay to stay in and for how long. Choosing the Kekova boat tour concept that best meets your expectations ensures that you spend that day in complete peace.
