Some places are best discovered slowly.

Along Turkey’s stunning Mediterranean coastline, ancient Lycian cities rise above crystal-clear bays, fishing villages cling to rocky hillsides, and traces of civilizations long gone remain hidden beneath the sea. Our Demre Myra Kekova Private Tour has been carefully designed for travelers who want to experience the region’s most iconic sights in comfort, without the restrictions of a crowded group tour.

Demre Myra Kekova Private Tour Itinerary:

Your day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel and a scenic drive to Demre, one of the most historically significant destinations on the Turkish Riviera.

The first stop is the legendary St. Nicholas Church, home to Saint Nicholas, the historical figure who inspired the modern-day Santa Claus. Rich in history and spirituality, this remarkable monument has attracted pilgrims and travelers for centuries.

From here, the journey continues to the ancient city of Myra, once one of the most important cities of the Lycian civilization. Walking among its impressive rock-cut tombs and remarkably preserved Roman theatre offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that flourished more than two thousand years ago.

After exploring Myra, the experience shifts from land to sea. At Çayağzı Harbour, your private boat awaits to take you into the breathtaking waters of Kekova.

Cruising along one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful stretches of coastline, your first stop is Gökkaya Bay. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters, it is the perfect setting for a refreshing swim. While you enjoy the bay, a freshly prepared lunch is served on board.

The voyage continues to the charming village of Kaleköy, ancient Simena, accessible primarily by sea. Here you will have approximately 40 minutes of free time to wander through narrow stone streets, browse local shops, or simply relax at a waterfront café while enjoying spectacular views across Kekova.

One of the highlights of the day follows as the boat glides slowly over the famous Sunken City of Kekova. Protected as an archaeological site, this extraordinary underwater settlement reveals walls, foundations, and remnants of a once-thriving Lycian community submerged by earthquakes centuries ago.

As the afternoon unfolds, we make one final stop at the tranquil waters of Çamlık Bay. Enjoy another swimming break in the crystal-clear sea while seasonal fresh fruits are served on board — a simple pleasure that perfectly captures the relaxed spirit of the Mediterranean.

At approximately 5:00 PM, the boat returns to Çayağzı Harbour, where your private transfer will be waiting to take you comfortably back to your hotel.

Combining ancient history, breathtaking scenery, authentic coastal culture, and the freedom of private travel, the Demre Myra Kekova Private Tour offers an unforgettable journey through one of Turkey’s most captivating regions.
