Rent a private boat or join a small group. A day at sea here is affordable and unforgettable.

1. Kekova Sunken City (Dolchiste)

Cruise silently over the ruins of an ancient Lycian city, submerged by earthquakes in the 2nd century AD. Through the clear water, you can see staircases, house walls, and amphorae. Swimming is forbidden here to protect history, but the view from the boat is mesmerizing.

2. Simena (Kaleköy)

A village accessible only by sea. Climb up to the medieval castle for a panoramic view that will take your breath away. Don't leave without trying the famous homemade peach ice cream.

3. Aquarium Bay

The name is literal. The water is so crystal clear that boats look like they are floating on air. It's a prime spot for swimming and snorkeling.
