Kekova Small-Group Boat Tour From Demre If you’re seeking a more personalised experience, you can choose a small-group tour that enables you to explore the area with a limited number of fellow travellers. This approach allows for a more intimate and comfortable journey, while still providing the opportunity to discover the most stunning spots in Kekova. This small-group boat tour invites you to enjoy a leisurely swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Turkish coastline. You will have ample time to explore Gökkaya Bay, a popular destination for thrilling water sports, and Karemlik Bay, an excellent location for spotting turtles!
Prepare for an unforgettable day on the water with an intimate group! Arrive at Demre Harbour before setting off for the boat trip at 10:00 a.m.
Uncover the captivating secrets of Kekova’s history on this unique adventure around the Sunken City. The ancient city of Dolchiste was submerged due to an earthquake in the 2nd century, and its remarkable underwater ruins never fail to leave an impression. Since this is a protected area, swimming is not permitted, so what better way to explore the site than by cruising alongside the ruins on our boat, which features a glass bottom, providing an opportunity to capture unforgettable photographs?
Our boat will drop anchor in Kaleköy port (ancient Simena) for one hour, allowing you time to explore this small, authentic village, which features castle ruins and a necropolis. A hike up the hillside will offer magnificent views of the Kekova region. If you’d prefer to admire Simena Castle from below, you can spend your remaining time taking another dip in the gorgeous blue waters. Entrance fee: 4 euros (or free with Museum Pass Turkey or Mediterranean Museum Pass)
Time for a lunch and swim break at beautiful Esmeralda Bay, where you can enjoy peace and tranquillity during this fun journey.
A 60-minute swim break in Burç Bay follows lunch. The sea is a little cooler in this area due to the cold underwater natural springs.
We will pause for a swim in Gökkaya Bay, where you can immerse yourself in the area's natural beauty and choose to partake in one of the various thrilling water sports available.
Discover this intriguing, naturally-formed cave renowned for its large size and curved entrance.
There are eight known types of turtles worldwide, five of which can be found in the Mediterranean. At Karemlik Bay, you will have the opportunity to search for these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
After an exciting adventure, we’ll return to Demre Harbour at 17:00, where this memorable boat trip ends.

We had an excellent day! Small group, very comfortable boat. The lunch was good (I recommend getting the fish) and the team was very friendly, smiling, and attentive. Calm atmosphere, no music, and the spots visited are very beautiful. Several swimming stops. Finally, we were lucky enough to see several turtles!
It was such a soul-soothing boat trip with a small, peaceful group — exactly what we needed! We fell in love with each bay we visited. The crew was super kind and helpful, and the food was fantastic too. We truly loved every bit of it! ❤️
Enjoyed every minute of it. Very friendly crew on board. Excellent food and service. The boat is clean and comfy. Well worth the price.
What a relief to know that there are peope who are real professionals and try their utmost to make you feel on holiday. We booked the Vitamin Sea for a family of three for three days in a row and we had the entire boat for ourselves. On the first day we were met by two people from the tour company and they received us friendly and told us about the rules. We were accompanied by two captains who were very friendly and very professional. They did everything according to our wishes. We are private people and these two captains mr Yaşar and mr Arif were out of sight but present whenever required. They never crossed boundaries by trying to be amiable which is very often the case unfortunately. They were very respectful and did everything to make us feel comfortable. And then there is the food: in abundance, diverse and delicious. On those three days we never had the same food nor the fruit. It was planned well and prepared with love. Next time we’re definitely booking the Vitamin Sea. We highly recommend!
My wife and I wanted to go on a boat tour and we started researching and then came across sailnstay and looked at the reviews it looked quite successful and quality we opted for here. They take you from cheese to roof with a shuttle vehicle where the warm people welcome you. The boat typically has no capacity for 30 people, but because it doesn’t have a crowd, they take a max of 18 people, which makes you feel special because you can enjoy half the boat on the lower or upper floors as you like. Their route is huge I think the food is so good and our captain Arif thank you very much for answering all my questions without being bored. Last time the tour ends, the shuttle car is waiting for you again, pre-cooled in the harbor, which I think is a well-thought-out gesture. Highly recommend
