Antalya Sunken City Kekova
Step into a world where ancient history meets breathtaking Mediterranean beauty on this unforgettable journey to Kekova Island and the legendary Sunken City near Demre. Famous for its turquoise waters, untouched bays, and mysterious underwater ruins, Kekova is one of the most spectacular coastal destinations along the Turkish Riviera.
Your adventure takes you to the uninhabited Kekova Island, a protected paradise where nature has remained beautifully preserved. Since there are no roads or settlements, the island can only be explored by boat, giving visitors a truly peaceful and authentic Mediterranean experience.
As you cruise along the coastline, you will pass some of the most picturesque bays in the region. Tersane Bay, once home to an ancient Lycian shipyard, is a perfect spot to admire crystal-clear waters and historic ruins, while the tranquil Karaloz Bay offers stunning views of the untouched Mediterranean landscape.. The highlight of the tour is the famous Sunken City of Kekova, one of Turkey’s most fascinating archaeological wonders. Nearly 2,000 years ago, a powerful earthquake caused parts of this Lycian settlement to collapse into the sea. Today, the remains of houses, walls, and staircases can still be seen just beneath the crystal-clear water.
As your boat glides slowly above the ruins, you will witness the haunting beauty of an ancient civilization frozen in time. On calm days, the outlines of the city are clearly visible beneath the surface, creating a truly magical sight.
The surrounding region is also rich in history. Nearby coastal villages such as Kalekoy (ancient Simena) and Ucaiz (ancient Teimiussa) offer charming harbors, traditional stone houses, and impressive Lycian ruins that transport visitors back thousands of years.
With its combination of ancient legends, stunning turquoise waters, hidden coves, and authentic seaside villages, the Kekova Sunken City experience is one of the most unique boat tours in Turkey.
Whether you are a history lover, nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a beautiful Mediterranean escape, this tour promises a day filled with discovery, relaxation, and unforgettable views.
