This week was our fourth trip to Kekova and we're still not tired of it. We've done it on big group boats out of Kas harbor (good value, but a bit of a cattle herd feel to it and it's an all-day commitment), leading our own tour there w/chartered motorboat (tons of fun, but not too workable unless you happen...

This is my favourite boat trip in Turkey, as you get lots of varied things in one brilliant day trip. Clear blue sea, sunken ancient city, sea cave, fantastic lunch, castle & last but not least, homemade peach ice cream!! Doesn't get much better than this. Picked up from Kalkan, about an hour drive to Kekova, then a lovely relaxing... More

We enjoyed visiting Simena Castle and the lovely scenery including the slightly underwhelming sunken city. A very relaxing day.

Whilst in Kas we took a day cruise to Kekova Sound. There were several stops at various coves and small bays for swimming, the water was so temperate and so blue!!! Our cruise over the sunken city was a little underwhelming, although the commentary gave us a good insight into the history of the immediate area. The stop at the... More

Glimpse of ancient history, whether paddling by in a kayak or from the deck of a Turkish Gulet. Well worth the time.

This is a stunning location, and we were lucky enough to have a generous boat owner, who parked up to allow us to visit the castle. The trip included the sunken city, not too much to see from above the water, however there's no diving allowed in the area. Final stop was a small beach area, where a couple of... More

Kekova sound boast of the "sunken city" which is not much to see underwater if you don't use your imagination. The place burst with tourist gulets during the season and tourbuses unload loads of people from early hours at Ucagiz, where they have 100 or more tourist boats doing daily trips or staying put with no business. It is a... More

Nice series of islands . We took the short trip to avoid wild parties and the BBQ. You get to swim in a nice bay near the sunken city. In October the options for lunch are quite milited (many items on the menu are not available. The say the whole area is shut down as of the end of October.

If you stay any time in Kas, I think it a MUST to take a day boat trip to the wondrous Kekova Sound. A number of small boats in Kas Harbour do the trip most days with a MAX of 12 passengers on most boats. They depart at 10am, returning 5:30pm to 6pm, in August 2012 charging about £22 Sterling...
