Schooner cruise from Kemer 3*

Join this 8-day cruise from Kemer offering a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of the region.

Sail to Kekova while surrounded by ancient ruins.

The ruined Lycian cities of Simena and the Sunken City represent the region's primary historical attractions.

However, more adventurous travellers may wish to explore the surrounding hills, where numerous rock-cut tombs and sarcophagi are located.

The region of Kekova is a popular destination for cruises and private yachts, offering transparent waters, brilliant sun, unspoiled nature and excellent swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities.

The region boasts a multitude of small islands, extensive caves, an abundance of marine life and secluded coves nestled against sheer cliffs and rugged hills. Many of these locations are only accessible by sea, offering a tranquil retreat.
