Highlights
  • Demre (Kale) - Summer, the best season to spend your day soaking up the sun on a boat trip from Demre, visiting Kekova’s most beautiful bays along the Mediterranean sea.

This daily boat trip gives you plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Turkish coastline, including Gökkaya Bay, a popular destination for exciting water sports, and Karemlik Bay, which is a great spot for finding turtles!

  • Andriake Ancient City - Demre Harbour
    Get ready for your action-packed day on the water! Make your way to Demre harbour in time to depart for the boat trip between 10 and 10.30 am.
  • Kekova - Discover the fascinating secrets of Kekova’s history on this unique adventure around the Sunken City. The ancient city of Dolchiste was flooded due to an earthquake in the 2nd century, and its resulting underwater ruins never fail to leave an impression.
  • Kekova Island - Since this is a protected area, swimming is not permitted here, so what better way to explore the site than by cruising alongside the ruins on our glass-bottom boat, giving you the chance to capture unforgettable photos.
  • Castle of Simena - Our boat will drop anchor in Kaleköy port (ancient Simena) for one hour, giving you time to visit this small authentic village that’s home to castle ruins and a necropolis. A hike up the hillside will give you magnificent views of the Kekova region.

Entrance fee of Simena Castle: 1 euro

  • Sunken City Ruins of Simena - If you’d prefer to admire Simena Castle from down below, you can use your remaining time to take another dip in the gorgeous blue waters.
