Guided Kekova Sea Kayaking Tour
Description
We depart Ucagiz at 09:00 am with motorized support vessel to escort us, and paddle southwest down the coast towards the Kekova Island and arrive Tersane bay at 10:15 am and followed by a swimming break. From there the group will slowly paddle over the ancient Lycian Kekova. Since this is a protected area, swimming is not permitted here. So what better way to explore the Sunken City than by Kayaking alongside the ruins; giving you the chance to capture unforgettable photos. After an exciting of adventure, we’ll head to Simena and arrive at 11:30 am, park in Kaleköy (ancient Simena Castle) for 45 mins, giving you time to visit this small authentic village that’s home to castle ruins and a necropolis.

In the afternoon we head back towards Theimussa for an up close view of more impressive Lycian sarcophagi and then return to our Kayak base. Following this you will move on to Üçağiz to enjoy lunch at 13:15 pm

After travelling to Ucagiz to start the experience, a friendly, bubbly staff member took us through the plan for the day. A day filled with lovely sights, chances to swim with the fish and a tasty meal at the end. 100% recommend to all.
Absolute best tour experience ever. The tour is packed full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including swimming, snorkeling, the underground city, and a castle hike. Lunch was fantastic, and Yassr provided lots of helpful information and did a great job keeping the group together and laughing. Absolute must if you’re in this part of Turkey (and worth the drive if you’re not.)
We booked the tour through the hotel and were pleasantly surprised to find out that we were the only ones who had reserved, so we were lucky enough to have a private tour. Our guide, Yasar, was amazing — he explained everything and showed us all about the sunken city. He took us to the castle and gave us enough time to rest at each stop. The tour is not easy since you have to keep paddling continuously; however, Yasar was very patient and encouraging with us. The tour ends with a delicious lunch. 100% recommended.
An excellent activity, highly recommended
Fantastic time! It was very good because there was a lot of variety. Bit of snorkling, kayaking and then a bit on the island! Fantastic guide and also a kind captain
Stunning kayaking around the sunken city and surrounding areas. Beautiful clear waters with amazing visibility. Lovely snorkeling. Thank you to Yasar for his guiding. Finished with a delicious lunch overlooking the sea.
Loved our day! Its 8km kayaking but doesnt feel like it at all in a double kayak. Yasar was very patient and helpful as a guide and we loved the route and swim spots. The water was the perfect temperature for kayaking and swimming. The lunch after was actually our favourite meal of turkey so far - flavoured and fresh fish and chicken with rice and salad. Would recommend if youre looking for an interesting activity to do in the area.
It was an amazing experience! Yasar is an exceptional guide, both friendly and passionate. He really takes the time to explain and put everyone at ease. A pretty physical activity, but in beautiful turquoise water... I highly recommend!
Very well organized experience, very friendly and competent guide. Beautiful scenery and great fun way to visit the sunken city.
The ski tour was really great. Our guide was very nice, explained everything in detail and kept checking our safety. The landscape was amazing, the water was calm and the weather was beautiful. Recommendation for everyone!
