The transport was late to pick us up because of traffic, but Ibrahim was easy to contact and kept us updated. There were 4-5 swim stops in gorgeous water and we loved visiting the castle spot. The tour guide spoke mostly Turkish and some English, but as two Australians we still loved the day and found it great value for money! Thank you to the crew!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 78 reviews · 10 hours · from $71

Small group boat day from Kaş to Kekova and Simena, with swims, snorkel gear, sea turtles, Myra ruins, and St Nicholas museum stop.

“Fantastic Day Trip to Kekova with Sailnstay! Our crew was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and hospitable. The day was planned out and executed perfectly. Just the right amount of time spent swimming and seeing attractions. It was perfect! We happened to drop an iPhone in 5m of seawater at one point. Without hesitation, our captain Arif dove in to look for it. After several dives he came up with it! This was so far above and beyond anything we expected or that he needed to do, but it was extremely generous and representative of how kind he is. And the phone still works!”

Kalkan’s Kekova sunken city boat trip, with multiple swim stops, Simena goat-milk ice cream, and a buffet lunch for about $80.

And we were not disappointed! We booked it the day before, they picked us up from our apartment with a mini bus as they did for everyone else. We drove for an hour until we got to Kekova. The guide Mehmet was really nice and spoke English quite well and gave us al the history throughout the entire journey. Lunch was AMAZING and included in the price as well as morning snack, water, juice and watermelon!…”

Seven-hour boat day from Demre to Kekova with Simena sunken city views, Simena Castle ruins, caves, turtles, and multiple swim breaks.

“The trip is for those who like to swim in sea bays. It is no real trip for visiting but sea swimming .If you like to spend the day on boat in small group of teen to 25 people with nice lunch and you will be happy.You start from Kekova village without enough time to go to castle, nekropolis and visit village(50m) where only up and down is around 35m(without visiting).Than you go by boat from bay to bay-stopping every 10m for another 40-60m. One close cave in the end from the boat.Instead of 3-4 long the same stops at least take one longer in Kekova to have a chance…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 34 reviews · 10 hours · from $76

Kaş to Kekova, Demre and Myra: Sunken City views, Simena Castle, sea turtles, snorkelling, lunch, and Myra ruins.

“Barca molto confortevole e spaziosa, pranzo di buona qualità e abbondante!! Bello il giro fra le baie, ma purtroppo praticamente non esisteva la guida… Ci veniva detto dove eravamo solo quando arrivavamo a destinazione senza aggiungere altri dettagli.. Quando siamo arrivati al castello di Simena ci è stato detto che avevamo 50 minuti per visitare il castello - nessuna menzione sulla bellissima baia che c’era lì accanto e che si vedeva dalla cima, quando ovviamente era troppo tardi per farsi un tuffo… peccato..”
