Side/Belek/Kemer: Lycian Heritage Tour & Kekova Boat Cruise

Step back into ancient history on a full-day journey through the heart of the Lycian region. Leaving Side behind, travel along scenic coastal roads toward one of southern Türkiye’s most culturally rich areas.

Your first major stop is Myra Ancient City, famous for its impressive rock-cut Lycian tombs carved into the cliffs and the remains of a Roman-era theater. With guidance from your licensed tour guide, learn about the Lycian civilization and the historical importance of this once-thriving city.

Continue toward the coastline and arrive at Kekova, where you board a boat for a relaxing cruise over the legendary Sunken City. Glide above submerged ruins, ancient foundations, and stone walls visible beneath the crystal-clear waters. The boat cruise offers a unique perspective on history shaped by nature and time.

During the cruise, enjoy scenic views of small islands, quiet coves, and turquoise waters. Free time is provided for swimming in designated areas, weather permitting.

The experience is completed with a relaxed lunch stop and scenic breaks along the route before returning to Side in the early evening.
