Kaş: Kekova Sunken City & Simena Castle Boat TourYou board a spacious boat at Kaş Harbour and spend the day moving between five bays—Inönü, Aquarium, Shipyard, Camlik, and the waters around Kekova Island—with stops for swimming and snorkeling at each. The Sunken City of Kekova, submerged Lycian ruins visible from the boat or underwater, is the main historical draw. Turkish lunch and afternoon tea are served onboard, and you anchor for several hours in the afternoon so you're not constantly moving.
