Description

With all that Kekova and Demre have to offer, the best way to explore the best nature spots and historical sites is on a luxurious private tour from Fethiye.
Fethiye to Demre
First, to make your trip as hassle-free as possible, we will arrange a private transfer service from your hotel in Fethiye. Our comfortable vehicle will bring you to Demre Harbour.

Demre Harbour
We’ll head to Demre harbour where the boat awaits you for the start of your trip to Kekova. Once the anchor is raised, away we go!

Kekova Island and Sunken City
Explore the secrets of Kekova's history on a unique adventure around the Sunken City. Dolchiste, an ancient city flooded in the 2nd century due to an earthquake, reveals its underwater ruins. Protected, swimming isn't allowed, but our boat, equipped with a glass-bottom window, offers an unforgettable glimpse into the submerged world, perfect for capturing stunning photos.

Simena Castle
Our boat anchors at Kaleköy port (ancient Simena) for an hour. Explore the authentic village with castle ruins and a necropolis. Hike for stunning views of Kekova or opt to swim in the blue waters by Simena Castle.

Esmaralda Bay
Time for a lunch and swim break at beautiful Esmeralda Bay, where you can enjoy peace and tranquillity during this fun journey.

Burc Bay
Enjoy the peaceful ambience of this area during a swim break in Burç Bay, where the water feels cooler due to the cold underwater natural springs!

Gokkaya Bay
We’ll stop to swim in Gökkaya Bay, where you can experience the natural beauty of the area and opt to participate in one of the various exciting water sports on offer.

Pirates Cave
Discover this intriguing, naturally-formed cave renowned for its large size and curved entrance.

Karemlik Bay
3 out of the 7 known sea turtle species can be found in the Mediterranean Sea. At Karemlik Bay, you’ll have the chance to look for these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

Demre Harbour
After your fascinating trip on the water, our boat will drop anchor in Demre port, where your tour continues with a visit to a nearby museum.

Museum of Lycian Civilizations
Walk the paths from the visitor area to explore Andriake ruins. End at a 2nd-century granary, now the Museum of Lycian Civilizations. Uncover artifacts from nearby cities, revealing ancient history.

St. Nicholas Church
Next on our tour is the Santa Claus Museum in Demre town center. Initially a church built in 520 A.D. in honor of St. Nicholas of Myra, a 4th-century patron saint, this archaeological gem offers a journey back in time to the ancient city of Myra.

The Ancient City of Myra
Discover Demre's famed archaeological site! Step into history with Myra's ancient ruins dating back to the 5th century B.C. Highlights include a Roman-style theater (the largest in Lycia) and eerie rock-cut tombs atop the cliffs.
