Sunken Wonders: Shared Kekova Tour From Üçağız
Itinerary
- Meeting and Transfer (Start: 09:30)
We meet at our office in Kaş at 09:30 and take a 45-minute transfer to Üçağız village, where we board the boat. - Aquarium Bay (Swimming Break)
At 10:30, we depart for our first stop, Aquarium Bay. Known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and rich marine life, this bay is perfect for a 40-minute swimming break. - Tersane Bay (Swimming and History)
Our next stop is Tersane Bay, named after its historical use as a shipyard. Here, you’ll find a Byzantine-era church near the beach. Enjoy a short swimming break while exploring this historic spot. - Kekova Sunken City
We continue to Kekova’s iconic Sunken City. Known as Dolikhiste in Lycian times, this city sank into the sea after earthquakes in the 2nd century AD. As our boat slowly passes by, you’ll have the chance to see underwater and above-ground ruins, including ancient houses, walls, doors, and staircases. - Gökkaya Bay (Lunch and Water Sports)
We stop at Gökkaya Bay for lunch. Our chef will serve a delicious meal:
Main Courses: Chicken or fish (vegetarian options available).
Side Dishes: Carrot tarator, Turkish-style mantı, potato salad, seasonal salad, and pilaf.
You can swim in the bay’s turquoise waters or participate in water sports (extra cost). - Esmeralda Bay and Pirate Cave
We then visit Esmeralda Bay and the mysterious Pirate Cave, two breathtaking spots to explore and enjoy. - Kaleköy (Simena)
Kaleköy, built on the ruins of the ancient city of Simena, is only accessible by sea or on foot. During our 1-hour stop, you can:
Climb to Simena Castle for panoramic views (entry fee extra).
Photograph the Lycian tombs submerged in the sea.
Browse souvenir shops or taste homemade ice cream. - Teimeussa Necropolis and Return to Üçağız
We sail past the Teimeussa necropolis, home to dozens of ancient tombs lining the shore, before returning to Üçağız. A transfer vehicle will bring us back to Kaş by 18:30.

Елизавета СGreat boat trip with excellent lunch
Great experience! We left Kas in 9:30 by comfortable car, the group was small. After a 30 mins drive we arrived at the harbour, when the boat was waiting. Then magic begins :) it is one of the best boat trips I’ve had (and I’ve had a few). We had a lot of time for each location, the views are just amazing. Also should say that the lunch on boat was super tasty - freshly grilled fish and salads, cooked like in a good restaurant. The captain was nice and really friendly. Absolutely recommend!
Ludovic LConquer the islands!
Superb walks with several stops to enjoy the place and swim. The team is great they are kind and helpful and real pros each in their own field. Special mention to Captain 🤟
