The deck rocks gently as the Mediterranean nudges the hull—blue water pressing forward like an invitation. Departing Antalya in the morning, the Mega Star cuts through glassy sea toward Kemer, pausing at sheltered coves where cliffs drop straight into turquoise.
History still hangs on these shores: Phaselis was a Lycian port founded by Rhodians, its ruined harbor and quays folded into small sandy bays. Geology here is compact limestone and shale; the cliffs bear fossilized ripples and small sea caves. Locals fish from ancient rhythms, and the crew often points out olive terraces clinging to the hills above the route.
Expect three main swim stops—roughly 90 minutes at Phaselis, then hour-long pauses at Cennet Bay and Kiris Bay—so most of the 8–9 hour excursion is spent in water and sun. The trip mixes relaxation with a foam party and light entertainment; children have a mini club and simple games while adults may snorkel, sunbathe, or drift from the swim ladder into clear depths where seagrass beds sway.
Practicalities: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and shoes that grip wet decks. Motion-sickness medication helps sensitive travelers; the boat is spacious but can roll with swell. Lunch (chicken, pasta, salad) is served aboard after the first swim. Hotel pickup in Antalya is included—confirm pickup point and timing the night before. Plan arrival and departure windows around mid-morning and late afternoon to avoid peak heat and maximize calm seas.
