Kas: Day Trip to Kekova Island

The tourist town of Kaş has magnificent views of the Turkish coastline and a bustling centre. So what better place to start your boat trip! The Kaş-Kekova boat trip begins at 9.30 am departing from Kaş harbour. Be sure to arrive early and enjoy the harbour side as you wait!

Cool off during a whopping one-hour swim break in this picturesque bay next to Kekova Island, and be dazzled by its beauty.

Tersane Bay, located on Kekova Island, is the starting point of the Sunken City. Take advantage of your time here as you observe the interesting underwater ruins, including church, castle, and wall remains.

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.

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.

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. 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.

After your fascinating cultural and nature encounters, the boat will head back to Kaş harbour where this memorable boat trip comes to an end. From here, you have a selection of bars and restaurants at your feet. If you are lucky, you might even see a gorgeous Kaş sunset.
