• 5Fantastic private boat...

  Fantastic private boat excursion! We were picked up with a private van at our house in Kas for about a 45 min transfer to the pier in Kekova. The boat was fantastic, large, clean. Nice father son duo that piloted it. Spoke great English. We were on the water from about 10am -5:50 pm and toured around the area, various swimming spots, a small climb up some stairs to this castle on an island. Overall very smooth, would recommend if you want a boat day that is more private than the usual tours. Lunch was fantastic. Some things to note: you do have to provide your own water, soft drinks and alcohol. Our driver stopped at a grocery store on the way. Perhaps would be nice to provide some water. You also need to provide your own towels. You do not actually snorkel on this trip, even at the forbidden city which is forbidden. They did have a few noodles for use in the water.

• 5The Highlight of our Holiday

  This was the highlight of our holiday. The boat passed close to several islands with Roman remains which the guide explained in English and Turkish. There were at least 4 stops for swimming in the crystal-clear water, half hour each, and a good lunch was provided on the boat. We also had an hour and a half to visit the village of Kale with delicious ice cream and orange juice. Bit of a tourist trap, but delightful all the same off peak-season.

• 5Fantastic day

  We have a fantastic day out in this boat. A series of stops at beautiful secluded locations for snorkelling and swimming. Lunch was very nice. Tea and coffee was served on several occasions along with melon slices. We all really enjoyed it. Very highly recommended.
