A low-slung pirate boat slips out of Kemer marina and the Mediterranean opens up: wind slices past the mast, the deck hums with chatter, and the smell of charcoal and salt builds as the coast falls away.

A low-slung pirate boat slips out of Kemer marina and the Mediterranean opens up: wind slices past the mast, the deck hums with chatter, and the smell of charcoal and salt builds as the coast falls away.
The first stop is Phaselis — an ancient Lycian port where red-tinted pines lean toward calcareous ruins and a sheltered harbor invites a long swim. The tour threads along the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, skirting coves carved into limestone and pebble beaches that catch the afternoon light. Cennet Bay answers with clear, cool water and a quieter shoreline; Lovers Bay follows, a gentler inlet where the sea seems to hold visitors in a private quiet.
Phaselis carries a layered history: founded by Rhodians and later absorbed into Lycian and Roman networks, its ruins speak to timber exports and maritime trade. Geologically, the coastline is a contrast of fractured limestone headlands and alluvial pockets that form the bays you’ll visit.
Practically, expect 5–6 hours on the water with hotel transfer, three scheduled swimming breaks (about 90, 60, and 60 minutes) and a BBQ lunch served on board. The trip is family-friendly and physically easy, but swimmers should be comfortable entering open water from a small boarding ladder. Bring reef shoes for rocky entries, sunscreen, and a waterproof bag for valuables. Hydrate between swims and time your camera for the shifting light on the cliffs — the sea will dare you to jump in, and the coast will reward you with clear water and arrested views.
Yes—round-trip transfers from Kemer hotels are included; you’ll be asked to provide pickup details when booking.
Most operators carry life jackets and flotation aids; inform staff if someone needs extra support before departure.
Infants can join but must sit on an adult’s lap during transfers; small children should be supervised at all times on deck and in the water.
Standard tours may not include snorkel equipment—bring your own or confirm availability with the operator in advance.
