Overview

One of the holiest churches for Christians, the Church of Santa Claus, is where we begin our trip. following allowing our visitors some free time to purchase following our tour at the local icon store, we travel to the historic city of Myra. Then we arrive at our boat, which is waiting for us at ayaz Port. We stop for our first swim in Gökkaya Bay after a short journey and then eat our packed meal. After lunch, we stop at Aquarium Bay for a swim and visit Tersane Bay, one of Kekova Island's historic bays. We dock our boat at Simena Castle (Kale Köy) see the submerged city and give our visitors an hour of free time here. You can stroll to the sarcophagus (rock) tombs on land or in the water, tour the settlement, and visit the old Simena Castle in your spare time. Don't forget to sample the locals' world-famous homemade ice cream. Following this stop at Simena Castle, we take our final swimming break of 30 minutes in the Üçaz Straits before wrapping up our tour.
