These partially submerged ruins were created by a powerful earthquake in the 2nd century AD and now form one of the most historically significant sites along the Turkish Mediterranean coast. As the area is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, we will cruise alongside the ruins to admire them from the gulet. However, swimming and snorkeling in this protected zone are strictly prohibited.

In the afternoon, we will anchor nearby, giving you the opportunity to explore Kekova Island and visit the impressive Simena Castle (Kaleköy Castle). From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the turquoise bay and surrounding landscapes, offering a truly unforgettable experience.

Following an early morning swim, breakfast will be served on board as we prepare to depart for Demre Harbour at 11:00 a.m. We will arrive before midday, where we will bid farewell to guests concluding their four-day gulet cruise.

Remaining guests will have the opportunity to visit the nearby Lycian rock tombs in Demre, with ample time to explore these remarkable ancient ruins before returning to the gulet for lunch. Guests interested in visiting the historic site of Myra and the iconic St. Nicholas Church may do so by car, provided they inform the captain in advance. Please note that this optional excursion involves an additional fee.

Our journey will then continue toward İztuzu Turtle Beach, a protected natural area where you may swim and possibly observe five of the eight sea turtle species native to the Mediterranean Sea, including the endangered Caretta caretta.

In the afternoon, we will return to the Sunken City of Kekova, a significant UNESCO World Heritage Site, for another close look at the ancient ruins visible beneath the water’s surface.
