Kekova Sunken City Boat Tour + St. Nicholas Church & Limyra Ancient City (Lunch on Board)
Cruise the turquoise bays of Kekova, view the legendary Sunken City by boat, enjoy lunch on board, then step into history at St. Nicholas Church and the hidden Lycian treasure of Limyra.
Discover one of the most cinematic coastlines of the Turkish Mediterranean on this full-day Kekova & Limyra
experience—crafted for travelers who want sea, scenery, and ancient history in one smooth itinerary.
Your day begins with a boat cruise around Kekova Island and its surrounding bays, where the water shifts from deep sapphire to crystal turquoise. The highlight is gliding past the Sunken City (Dolchiste)—a protected archaeological shoreline where submerged foundations and stone steps can be seen beneath the surface from the boat. Relax on deck, take photos, and enjoy a freshly served lunch on board
while the coastline of ancient Lycia drifts by.
After the cruise, continue inland to St. Nicholas Church in Demre—built above the burial place of Saint Nicholas(Saint of sailors), the historical figure who inspired the Santa Claus legend. Today, it’s a museum-like site known for its atmospheric Byzantine setting and surviving fresco/mosaic details.
To finish the day, you’ll visit Limyra Ancient City, a lesser-visited gem of Lycia. Limyra is especially known for its hundreds of rock-cut tombs and its powerful “lost city” atmosphere—an ideal stop for guests seeking something beyond the classic highlights.
