Overview
Shared Sunken City of Kekova Boat Trip including lunch.
One of the most exciting boat trips is to visit the sunken city of Kekova. A terrible earthquake in the 2nd century AD caused a downward shift of land and submerged the ancient houses. You will travel by our vehicle to Ucagiz Village and then take a boat to Kekova area where you will witness the remains of the ancient city.
The ancient Lycian sunken city of Simena is often referred to as Kekova-Simena. The city is a charming mix of ancient, medieval and modern history making it interesting as well as beautiful.
The day begins with a drive to Üçağız village from our office in Kas center to board the boat which will then stop for a swim at Aquarium bay.

Best boat trip we have been on
Published on Aug, 2023
We have been on many boat trips and this was by far the best. It was excellent. You were shown to your seating area, there was a reasonably priced bar and the food provided was of a good standard and variety. The boat stopped in several places for swimming and at the village to walk up to the castle or sit and taste the delicious iced cream. No Loud music, mixed nationality couples and families.
Wow! Highly recommended trip! We were looked after from
Start to finish and had the most memorable day! It was really good value for money. The boat was spotless and there were many different places to sit. The snorkelling and sightseeing spots of aquarium bay, Simena, the sunken city and shipyard bay were stunning. The water is crystal clear. Take snorkels! The food was excellent at lunch and we had a complimentary tea or coffee mid afternoon and watermelon. Captain Ergun took our pictures with a drone too. We all loved it!! Thank you
A wonderful experience!
Published on Aug, 2023
This was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Beautiful views, lots of swimming, and a lovely cool breeze on the boat. Nice lunch of fish/chicken and salads and a knowledge commentary. No loud music which was fabulous. Just peace and serenity. Drinks available at the bar (at extra cost). Everything was taken care of. We reclined on sunlounges upstairs with an overhead shade canvas. Loved it!
