Itinerary
Get ready for your action-packed day on the water! Make your way to Ucagiz Village harbour in time to depart for the boat trip between 10:20 and 10.40 am.
Cool off during a whopping one-hour swim break in this picturesque bay next to Kekova Island, and be dazzled by its beauty. Turkish tea and biscuits service at Aquarium Bay.
Discover the fascinating secrets of Kekova’s history on this unique adventure around the Sunken City. The ancient city of Dolchiste was flooded due to an earthquake in the 2nd century, and its resulting underwater ruins never fail to leave an impression.
Since this is a protected area, swimming is not permitted here, so what better way to explore the site than by cruising alongside the ruins on our boat, giving you the chance to capture unforgettable photos.
Swim break in Burç Bay. The sea is a little cooler in this area due to the cold underwater natural springs.
Time for a lunch and swim break at Gökkaya Bay, where you can experience the natural beauty of the area and opt to participate in one of the various exciting water sports on offer.
We’ll stop to swim in Esmeralda Bay where you can enjoy peace and tranquility during this fun journey.
Our boat will drop anchor in Kaleköy port (ancient Simena) for one hour, giving you time to visit this small authentic village that’s home to castle ruins and a necropolis.
A hike up the hillside will give you magnificent views of the Kekova region. If you’d prefer to admire Simena Castle from down below, you can use your remaining time to take another dip in the gorgeous blue waters.
After an exciting day of adventure, we’ll head back to Ucagiz Village harbour where this memorable boat trip ends. From here you can make your way to the centre for dinner options or continue to your next destination.

Few participants at the end of September! Very nice! Turtles at the port of Demre where our boarding takes place!
Super organized, delicious food, lots of swimming breaks on beautiful bays. Great lounging facilities on the deck, time for your own discovery opportunities. I recommend the tour 100%. Thank you very much
Very nice little cruise in Kekova Bay. The waters are turquoise. Several very pleasant swimming moments The cruise also allows you to admire several ancient sites (including the submerged city of Kékova but also Siména). Recent boat (Medim 3). Not too many tourists. Explanations in English. Proper meal.
Good food and nice presentation about region’s historical heritage. Also enough time for swimming and boat has fresh water for shower after swimming
My partner and I did a full day cruise with another couple. After the cruise we all agreed that it was the best cruise we have ever been on. The swimming spots were beautiful with clear blue water and ancient ruins close by. We had a great time floating on the foam noodles provided. The staff were also excellent and all the information was translated to us in English. The staff also contacted us the day before so we need exactly where to go at the marina. The lunch provided was also delicious and filled us up! The Kekova cruise is a must if you're in the Kas/Antalya region!
