Sea Kayaking over Kekova Sunken City
Paddle silently in two-person expedition kayaks directly over submerged Lycian ruins, reaching Tersane Bay and Kaleköy without engine sound.
✨Key Highlights
- ✓Silent, non-intrusive approach right up to submerged ancient walls and carved stone steps
- ✓Morning paddling conditions when water is completely calm and visibility is at its peak
- ✓Landing directly at Tersane Bay and roadless Kaleköy by kayak
- ✓Led by certified sea kayak guides with full safety gear and instruction provided
For travellers seeking a close-up, silent connection with Kekova’s ancient heritage, guided sea kayaking provides an unforgettable vantage. Departing early in the morning when the sound is as still as a mirror, two-person sea kayaks glide effortlessly across the bay from Üçağız.
Because kayaks draw only inches of water and produce zero engine disturbance, you can paddle directly adjacent to the protected ruins of the Sunken City. You will see submerged doorways, carved stone berths, and ancient masonry resting mere feet beneath your hull.
After crossing the sound to Tersane Bay for a swim and fresh fruit break on the beach, you paddle across to roadless Kaleköy (Simena). Landing on the pebbles under the medieval fortress, you have time to explore the village pathways, visit the castle ramparts, and sample fresh lemonade before an easy return paddle back to Üçağız.
