Salt spray and warm sun set the tone as the boat slips out of Kemer’s marina and the Taurus foothills recede behind you. The first stop — Phaselis Bay — places ancient stonework at the water’s edge: a ruined Lycian harbor where the sea still claims the old quays. You can step from deck to pebble, swim beneath crumbling arches, and feel the current nudge you toward the blue.

Salt spray and warm sun set the tone as the boat slips out of Kemer’s marina and the Taurus foothills recede behind you. The first stop — Phaselis Bay — places ancient stonework at the water’s edge: a ruined Lycian harbor where the sea still claims the old quays. You can step from deck to pebble, swim beneath crumbling arches, and feel the current nudge you toward the blue.
The route moves west to Alacasu (Paradise Bay), a rare point where freshwater springs mingle with the Mediterranean, making a cooler pocket of water and a change in buoyancy that’s immediately noticeable. Final swims happen at Kiriş or Moonlight Bay depending on weather and tide, giving lingering time to float and watch the coastline’s black-pine slopes slide by.
Phaselis occupies a place in regional history as an ancient trading port with Hellenistic and Roman layers visible in its ruins; the bay’s geology is coastal limestone and pebble beaches polished by millennia of waves. Local culture around Kemer mixes modern seaside tourism with small fishing traditions — look for meyhane-style dishes onshore after the tour.
Practical details: expect a full-day outing (about 6–7 hours) with open-buffet lunch, swimming, and on-deck activities like a foam party. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, sturdy sandals for rocky shores, a swim towel and a light wind layer for the crossing. If you have back or heart problems, or are pregnant, this excursion is not recommended. Plan hotel pickup in Kemer and aim for a morning start to catch calmer seas and smaller crowds.
Yes—pickup and drop-off from Kemer-area hotels are included; you'll select your pickup point when booking.
Basic swimming stops are included but bring your own mask/snorkel if you prefer; some tours provide limited rental equipment—check with the operator.
An open buffet lunch is provided, typically with chicken schnitzel, salads, pasta and rice; options may vary for dietary needs—notify at booking.
Suitable for families and all fitness levels, but infants must sit on laps and non-swimmers should wear life jackets provided by the boat.
