About Our Service in Antalya and the Kekova Region

Day 1: Embarkation in Antalya
Your voyage begins in Antalya Marina at 17:00, where you will be warmly welcomed by our professional crew. As you settle into your cabin and enjoy refreshments, take time to explore the marina’s elegant setting. Antalya, the jewel of the Turkish Riviera, offers glimpses of Roman and Ottoman history, including the iconic Hadrian’s Gate and the charming streets of Kaleiçi. After a full briefing and a delightful welcome dinner onboard, you'll spend the night moored at the marina, soaking in your first evening under the Mediterranean sky.

Day 2: Olympos and Adrasan Bay
We begin the cruise with a morning departure to Olympos, one of the most mystical ancient cities of the Lycian civilization. Tucked into a lush valley, the site offers the chance to explore ruined temples, stone pathways, and the Eternal Flames of Chimera. After an adventurous hike or a beachside rest, the yacht continues to Adrasan Bay, a quiet paradise fringed by pine-covered hills. Here, you can swim in crystalline waters or paddle along the coastline before enjoying a gourmet meal under the stars.

Day 3: Demre, Çayağzı Beach, and Gökkaya Bay
After breakfast, we head for Demre, home to the ancient city of Myra, where Lycian rock-cut tombs tower above Roman ruins. A visit to the Church of St. Nicholas, the historical figure behind Santa Claus, adds a unique spiritual touch. Following an optional swim at Çayağzı Beach, the yacht cruises to Gökkaya Bay. This sheltered anchorage is ideal for paddleboarding and snorkeling in calm waters. Explore the nearby Blue Cave on a dinghy or relax on deck before indulging in a peaceful evening surrounded by nature.

Day 4: Tersane Island and Üçağız Bay
Begin the day with a scenic sail to Tersane Island, once a thriving shipyard of the Lycian era. The partially submerged ruins offer a rare opportunity to snorkel among archaeological wonders. After exploring this historical gem, we cruise to Üçağız Bay, a quiet fishing village where time seems to stand still. Meet local artisans, visit traditional homes, or simply stroll the picturesque harbor. As night falls, enjoy an elegant dinner onboard and listen to the soft lap of water against the hull.

Day 5: Simena and the Sunken City of Kekova
Sailing into Kekova Bay, we reach Simena (Kaleköy), a hilltop village accessible only by sea. Climb to the ancient fortress for panoramic views or admire the stone sarcophagi that emerge from turquoise waters. Nearby lies the Sunken City of Kekova, where ruins from a Lycian settlement lie partially submerged due to ancient earthquakes. Snorkel or kayak above this underwater marvel, witnessing history through the glassy surface. Return to the gulet for another freshly prepared meal as the sky turns shades of rose and gold.

Day 6: Ceneviz Harbour and Phaselis
Departing early, the gulet makes its way to Ceneviz Harbour, an untouched bay embraced by towering cliffs and dense pine forests. Enjoy a morning swim in this secret haven before continuing to Phaselis, a once-flourishing Roman-Lycian port city. Wander among aqueducts, theaters, and agora ruins set just steps from the sea. With beaches on either side, Phaselis invites both historical reflection and seaside bliss. After exploring the ruins, relax onboard with a meal showcasing regional flavors and fine wines.

Day 7: Kemer and Return to Antalya
On the final full day, we visit Kemer, a lively town offering shops, beaches, and opportunities for water sports. Whether you're snorkeling off Moonlight Beach, exploring the promenade, or picking up souvenirs at local boutiques, Kemer provides a delightful mix of leisure and exploration. In the late afternoon, we begin our return to Antalya Marina. Enjoy your farewell dinner onboard or venture into the city for a final night stroll through Kaleiçi’s atmospheric alleys and harbor lights.

Day 8: Disembarkation in Antalya
Following a relaxed breakfast onboard, it's time to disembark at Antalya Marina by 09:00. As you say goodbye to the crew, you’ll carry home unforgettable memories of turquoise bays, sunken cities, and ancient legends—all woven together in a journey of unmatched charm along the Turkish Riviera.
