Kekova Sunken City & Simena Boat Tour
About This Boat Trips
Kekova is one of the most extraordinary sights in Turkey — an ancient Lycian city that sank beneath the waves following a 2nd-century earthquake, leaving walls, staircases, and doorways visible just below the crystal-clear surface. The boat trip from Kas takes you past the length of the sunken city, then to the tiny island of Kaleköy (Simena) dominated by a Crusader castle surrounded by Lycian rock tombs. Multiple swim stops in turquoise bays and a fresh lunch on board complete this unforgettable day.

The most incredible boat trip I have ever done. Seeing the ancient city just below the surface was surreal. Saved £14 with the card.

Absolute bucket list experience. Kekova is unlike anything in the world. The castle and tombs were a bonus. Perfect day.
