Kekova Boat Tour from Kalkan & Kaş: Discover the Sunken City and Crystal-Clear Mediterranean Magic with Alper Tourism

Imagine gliding across turquoise waters where ancient Lycian ruins lie silently beneath the surface, their stone walls and amphora fragments visible through the boat’s glass bottom. Welcome to the Kekova boat tour – one of Türkiye’s most enchanting full-day adventures and a highlight for anyone holidaying in Kalkan or Kaş. With Alper Tourism’s dedicated Kekova Sunken City Boat Trip already operating from the region, you can experience this unforgettable journey with complete peace of mind. Whether you arrive via their reliable private transfer services from Antalya or Dalaman Airport, or simply book a seamless hotel pickup, everything is taken care of so you can focus on the magic.

Why the Kekova Boat Tour Is a Must-Do Experience

Nestled between the charming coastal towns of Kalkan and Kaş, Kekova offers a rare blend of history, nature, and relaxation that few Mediterranean destinations can match. The region’s star attraction is the Sunken City – a submerged Lycian settlement partially lost to earthquakes centuries ago. On Alper Tourism’s Kekova boat tour, you don’t just sail past it; you explore it up close with expert guidance and multiple swimming stops in some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean.

The tour departs from Kalkan (with an easy one-hour scenic drive to the picturesque starting point of Üçağız Village) and is also available for guests staying in Kaş. Operating on selected days – typically Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays during peak season – the full-day excursion begins bright and early at 09:00 and returns you comfortably in the late afternoon.

Your Step-by-Step Kekova Boat Tour Itinerary

Alper Tourism has crafted a perfectly paced day that balances adventure, culture, and pure relaxation:

Tersane Bay swimming stop: Your first plunge into the turquoise sea comes with a view of ancient ruins lining the shore. Peer through the boat’s glass window to spot broken pottery and amphorae resting on the seabed – a breathtaking introduction to the Sunken City.
Pirate Cave exploration: Sail into this dramatic sea cave and marvel at the unique rock formations carved by nature over millennia.
Gökkaya Bay lunch break: Enjoy a delicious open-buffet lunch while anchored in a sheltered bay. Swim, relax on deck, or simply soak up the sun.
Burç Bay second swim: A historic Ottoman watchtower stands sentinel above this stunning cove, offering yet another chance to cool off in crystal-clear waters.
Simena (Kaleköy) Peninsula visit: Disembark for free time to wander the medieval castle ruins, enjoy panoramic views over Kekova, and treat yourself to famous homemade ice cream from the village.
Final swim near Üçağız: One last refreshing dip before the return boat journey and comfortable drive back to Kalkan (or Kaş drop-off).

Every moment is designed to immerse you in the region’s natural beauty and rich history, all while travelling in comfort with a professional crew.
