BenAmazing experience! True taste of local culture and history
We (family of 5) did a five day excursion, we were hosted by the hilarious (and capable) Captain and his lovely and talented partner!What a lovely and memorable experience, exploring all the islands and various ancient settlements around Kas.With its amazing views and history, ancient Lycian culture still bears its mark even today.It was incredible to see how modern civilisation has established itself symbiotically within the ruins of this ancient culture.
DanimazzilliUnforgettable family trip
We took a private trip for 5 days around Kas and Kekova and we had the best time! This was the highlight of our 1 month vacation in Turkey. The crew was friendly and professional and was always willing to help. The boat was very nice and clean and the food food was absolutely delicious. We went to spectacular places and enjoy every minute. Thank you !! It was an unforgettable trip!!! 100% recommend!
AllanJGJAn outstanding day was had by all
My group of eight had our own boat with lunch made for us on board. Brilliant! The sunken city, the little island of Kekova with its castle, and swimming in the clear blue water. What a great day. One odd thing: we were all Aussies and Kiwis and found the complete lack of birdlife odd, almost disquieting. Similarly very few fish. But the scenery and the lovely sea made this a great day.
