Full description

After being collected from your Kalkan or Kaş accommodation, you will be ready for your full-day boat trip through the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Beginning from Ucagız village, you will sail for 1 hour to arrive at the heart of Kekova. Here you will be able to take your first swim break at Tersane Bay, viewing the sunken city ruins through the glass-bottomed boat. You will then have the opportunity to dine on a delicious open buffet lunch at Gokkaya Bay, where guests will have a second chance to swim through the clear water. From there, you will visit the pirate cave and Burc Bay, before eventually stopping at Simena. Once at Simena, you will have the choice to walk up to the castle that boasts magnificent views over the bay.

So, first of all it was quite hard to find which boat trip to book as there’s not many reviews anywhere at all! So we picked this one as the description sounded really good. 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! It wasn’t a big group but everyone talked to each other and got to know everyone, so a very friendly trip! We all swam together everytime we stopped at a different bay, you can also do snorkelling. We saw the sunken city (super interesting and beautiful) and we also stopped at Simena where you could enjoy it for an hour and visit the castle as well as try their goat milk home made ice cream. 9h trip, super fun!
