You will be welcomed at Ucagiz Harbor by our YourTourKey team, who will personally escort you to your boat. At the harbor we’ll meet you and provide a brief orientation before starting our tour.
Our first stop after leaving the harbor is Akvaryum Bay, where we take a break for tea and swimming. Akvaryum Bay is one of the most beautiful spots in Kekova, known for its crystal-clear water.
Next, we arrive at Tersane Bay, the only spot in the Sunken City area where swimming is allowed. The bay features a natural beach where you can go ashore and explore the ancient ruins up close.
We now reach the famous Sunken City of Kekova, a unique archaeological site protected by UNESCO. As the boat slows down, you’ll have the chance to observe the ancient ruins of this Lycian settlement, which slipped into the sea after a series of earthquakes in the 2nd century AD. Swimming is not allowed here, but you can enjoy impressive views of the submerged streets, staircases, and buildings from the deck.
Our next stop is Burc Bay, a tranquil spot known for its clean sandy beach and crystal-clear sea. A natural spring flows into the bay, adding to its refreshing atmosphere. From the beach, you can spot Simena’s ancient watchtower perched at the top of the hill, offering a unique view of the area.
Our next stop is Hamidiye Bay, a picturesque spot with a rich history. The bay is named after Sultan Abdulhamid II, whose battleship once anchored here. While enjoying beautiful views of Kalekoy from the boat, you’ll be served a delicious lunch featuring barbecue specialties and fresh fish.
Our next stop is Simena (Kaleköy), a charming coastal village accessible only by sea—there are no roads leading here. Home to just 80 residents, Simena is famous for its hilltop castle, which offers stunning panoramic views of the Kekova region. During our one-hour stop, you’ll have the chance to hike up to the ancient Simena Castle, explore dozens of Lycian rock tombs along the way, and admire the iconic sarcophagus standing in the sea. This is a unique opportunity to observe the daily life of the local community and wander through the small market, where you can purchase handmade products crafted by villagers.
Our final stop is Kocakarı Bay, where we take a swimming break and serve fresh fruit before heading back.

This was our first overnight boat trip, so we were a bit inexperienced, but overall it was a very enjoyable, safe trip where the family welcomed us very well. The comfort level was lower than we expected; if we were to go again, we'd probably pack less luggage and be prepared to sweat. We received excellent service in terms of meals, sightseeing, and comfort.
Captain Ali and his wife and their beautiful boat provided us the best day of our vacation. we were two families total of 6 people on a private day trip filled with wonderful memories. Also booking was smooth, company was very honest and responsible, they fixed a little payment issue immediately. I definitely recommend a trip if you really want a special day on the beautiful Turkish coast with unbeatable hospitality. thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear that this was one of the best days of your vacation. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate your trust, understanding and recommendation. Reviews like this mean a lot to our team. We hope to see you again on the Turkish coast someday!
It was a wonderful experience, I will definitely take a boat trip again during my Kaş vacation. The captain made delicious food, was very attentive, and we had a pleasant day. Thank you very much for everything.
Last week was a fantastic trip. We can say it was the best day of our holiday, and we recommend it to everyone. We would also like to thank Captain Coşkun and his assistant; the coffee and tea were wonderful. Especially the food, the grilled fish on the boat is amazing 👌 My wife, my three children, and I can choose this very comfortable boat without hesitation 🌸
It was one of the best vacations I've ever had with my girlfriend. Unique tranquility, broken only by our unique laughter... Thank you so much for this wonderful holiday experience. We will definitely cross paths again. Stay blue 💙
We had a wonderful day on a beautiful boat. We had a wonderful day enjoying the sea, nature, sun, the amenities of the boat, and chatting with lovely people. The only reason for the wind was that it was May. The wind worried us throughout the journey, but once we brought the boat to the bay and anchored, the wind died down and we had a very enjoyable sea experience.
Thank you for everything, it was a fantastic day, the service was top-notch, we truly felt special. The bays and the region are beautiful, and the food was superb. Kaleköy is an absolute must-visit spot; the views are amazing. Thanks to the whole team. We are thinking of participating again later in the summer.
