A low-slung gulet slips out from the mainland and the Mediterranean opens like a map you can read by eye — turquoises deepen, rock faces sharpen, and a scattering of tiles and steps ghost beneath the water.

A low-slung gulet slips out from the mainland and the Mediterranean opens like a map you can read by eye — turquoises deepen, rock faces sharpen, and a scattering of tiles and steps ghost beneath the water.
This full-day boat tour threads three distinct chapters of Lycia: Kekova’s submerged streets and house steps that whisper of tectonic change; Myra’s cliff-cut Lycian tombs and a Roman theater carved into a working hillside; and Demre, where the Church of St. Nicholas casts a long cultural shadow. Geologically the coastline is young and restless — uplifted limestone terraces and karst ridges pushed by the Anatolian plate once toppled settlements into the sea.
Culturally, the route stitches Greek, Byzantine and Ottoman layers: fishing villages still haul nets where ancient traders once landed. An art historian-guide typically annotates the ruins, pointing out masonry styles, maritime trade traces and the church’s mosaics while explaining how sea levels and earthquakes reconfigured local life.
Practical guidance: expect a 10–11 hour day that mixes two hours afloat with short, mostly flat walks at sites. Wear sturdy shoes for cobbled lanes and moderate steps, bring swimwear and a towel if the captain allows a stop, and carry sun protection — shade is limited on deck. Mobility is generally easy but uneven terrain at archaeological sites favors steady footing. Bring cash for small entry fees or local purchases and motion-sickness remedies if you’re prone.
The day delivers archaeology and coastline in one pack: salt on your lips, rock beneath your feet, and the sea daring you to look deeper.
If sea and weather conditions permit, the boat may stop for a swim near Kekova; always follow the crew’s safety instructions.
The tour description notes the Myra ancient city entrance ticket is included; check with the operator about any additional local fees.
Yes — standard inclusions list hotel pickup and drop-off in Antalya; confirm your pickup point during booking.
