Kekova & Aperlai Sea Kayaking Expedition

Description

Unlike most sea kayaking tours, this full-day expedition goes beyond the Sunken City to the rarely visited ancient city of Aperlai, combining history, swimming, local culture and a true sense of exploration. With fewer visitors and more time to explore, you’ll experience hidden bays, quiet archaeological sites and the slower rhythm of the Lycian coast. It’s a journey designed for travellers who prefer discovering places rather than simply ticking them off a list.

Amazing experience of kayaking

The journey with Barbaros was absolutely amazing! We stopped at several beautiful spots, enjoyed a lovely picnic, and learned about the local history. It was our first time kayaking, and Barbaros was attentive, supportive, and patient throughout the trip. He made us feel safe and confident on the water. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun and unique adventure!
