  2. Aquarium Bay

  4. Sunken City Ruins of Simena
    Pass by
    We now reach the famous Sunken City of Kekova, a unique archaeological site protected by UNESCO. As the boat slows down, you’ll have the chance to observe the ancient ruins of this Lycian settlement, which slipped into the sea after a series of earthquakes in the 2nd century AD. Swimming is not allowed here, but you can enjoy impressive views of the submerged streets, staircases, and buildings from the deck.
  5. Burc Kale Ve Koyu

    Our next stop is Burc Bay, a tranquil spot known for its clean sandy beach and crystal-clear sea. A natural spring flows into the bay, adding to its refreshing atmosphere.

  6. Hamidiye Koyu

    Our next stop is Hamidiye Bay, a picturesque spot with a rich history. The bay is named after Sultan Abdulhamid II, whose battleship once anchored here. While enjoying beautiful views of Kalekoy from the boat, you’ll be served a delicious lunch featuring barbecue specialties and fresh fish.
