If you are staying in the quaint town of Kas (Kaş), take advantage of our day trip to Kekova and Demre (Myra) for ancient ruins and striking turquoise waters that are just too good to leave!
Highlights of the boat trip include the underwater ruins of the Sunken City, wandering around the village of Kaleköy (ancient Simena), and swimming in numerous stunning bays such as Burç Bay, and Karemlik Bay, where you can go on the exploration for sea turtles! Once we reach land again, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about Lycian history, with a visit to the Museum of Lycian Civilizations and the fascinating rock-cut tombs of ancient Myra, to name a few.

Overall, a great experience, excellent lunch and very full day. No glass bottom boat or hotel pickup as stated when I booked, though. Our group of 7 in Kaş was transferred to a large boat with at least 60+ persons s from everywhere. We were the only tourists among the locals, so a great cultural immersion.

This trip was not a small group tour. We were picked up from Smiley's by a small shuttle (max 15 people) to be transferred to Demre where we boarded a 45 ppl capacity boat.
The "glass bottom boat" was infact 4 small glass panel tables (approx 30cmx100cm) in the main boat.
The bus driver only spoke Turkish however most of the crew on the boat spoke (besides Turkish) English and perhaps other languages. The guide on the boat gave good commentary in both English and Turkish at each stop. All the crew were friendly and lunch was nice with a good selection of dishes.
The highlight for me was visiting Simena and walking up to the castle from which the views were amazing.
The sunken city was interesting but we couldn't see much below the water.
The 4 swim stops were great and enjoyed by most on the boat.
After boat tour we returned to Demre to be picked up by same bus driver and taken to Myra for half hr followed by St Nicholas church for half hr. No one on our bus paid the €15 entry for Myra and €17 for St Nicholas church as we felt it was too expensive for half hr visit.

Really great trip and such awesome boat staff! We had unfortunate wind change and they made every effort to still make our trip amazing 🙌 food was amazing (and really proper food) views and stops are spectacular.
Tip for foreigners - rather ask to pay entrances in TL (cards are accepted) and take additional TL for souvenirs.
I have recommended this to all our friends and family and all have had amazing experiences.

What an amazing tour!!!!! You will not be disappointed!! My cousin and I had such a lovely day. I especially enjoyed the fact that this is a small boat with only 8 people including the captain Ozden and his lovely wife Fitnat. Be sure to have your bathing suit because you will have lots of time to swim in beautiful turquoise waters. We listened to Turkish music and all of us just danced and came together as if we had been friends forever. Such a warm atmosphere created by out hosts. The tour continued by bus to the jaw-dropping Rock Tombs of Myra and 5th century B.C. Amphitheatre. It was a long fun-filled day! If I return to Turkey I will definitely do this tour again!!! Shoutout to Ozden, Fitnat and our bus driver for making this day so memorable!!!

A childhood dream came true.
It is a very special place.
Sitting in the shade of the olive trees and looking at these rocks.
You forget the time

It was a wonderful day sailing around Turkish coast. It was almost a private tour, since we were only 6 people and our lovely captain and his wife. We combined swimming and visiting ancient Lycian places. The lunch was excellent and rich. Thanks to "Sail'nstay" and Ibrahim!

If you are looking for a day trip that combines swimming in the bays of the Aegean coast with sightseeing- sunken city, ancient city Myra, St Nicholas church. Look no further. We spent a lovely and memorable day with
Kaptan ozden and his wife fiknat. They attended to all of our comforts. The boat had a covered middle deck and a sunny upper deck. Lunch prepared by fiknat was delicious.
the memories from this day trip will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The trip to Myra itself was stunning and worth the journey in its own right. We had done a boat trip to Kekova before, but it was nice to travel from a different start location. The final stop at Turtle Bay was amazing to see turtles in the wild. The visit to St Nicholas's Church was probably not worth the entrance fee, but was interesting to see. The tour operator was very helpful despite the low number of us on the day.

The boat tour and then Myra antique theather and tombs worth to spend whole day. Santa Claus museum was under renovation so we could not see much. The local tour agency does not have guide. For museum and ancient city visits you can ask to get audio guide together with museum tickets. Our driver, boat crew were very friendly. It was great.
