Overview

The Kekova region is closer to Demre than to ports like Kaş and Kalkan, and a significant part of the Lycian civilization is located in Demre. Important sites actively used by the people of Kekova, such as Saint Nicholas, the Lycian Civilizations Museum, and the ancient city of Myra, are found here. This tour, starting from Andriake Harbor, offers a more meaningful experience when you explore the entire region as a whole. Unlike other shared tours, our boat, with a capacity of 50, accommodates a maximum of 25 guests, ensuring everyone has their own space. Additionally, our extensive experience in the area allows us to expertly navigate to must-see spots at the right time, providing a calm and informative tour experience. Unlike other tours departing from Demre and Kaş, we offer the opportunity to visit Üçağız Village, where you can explore its historical sites and local village life.
