We kick off our journey at one of Christianity’s most revered churches, the Church of Santa Claus. Post that, we leave our tourists some leisure time to shop in the local icon store, post which we proceed towards the ancient city of Myra. Following this, we make our way to our boat stationed at Ayaz Port. A brief trip later, we halt for our first dip in Gökkaya Bay, following which we consume our pre-packed meals. Post luncheon, we pause at Aquarium Bay for a swim and then we pay a visit to Tersane Bay, a historic bay on Kekova Island. We anchor our boat at Simena Castle (Kale Köy), see the sunken city and allot an hour of free time for our tourists here. You can wander to the sarcophagus (rock) tombs by land or water, explore the settlement, and see the ancient Simena Castle during your free time. Don’t forget to taste the world-renowned homemade ice cream made by the locals. After our stopover at Simena Castle, we have our concluding swim of 30 minutes in the Üçaz Straits before concluding our tour.
