Spend a half-day aboard a private luxury boat from Kemer exploring Phaselis and a string of turquoise bays. Expect swimming stops, a light onboard lunch, and a close look at Lycian-Roman ruins along a dramatic coastal shelf.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a low-profile luxury boat in Kemer and the Mediterranean answers with a cool, bright slap against the hull. Pine-scented slopes of the Taurus press toward the water to the north while the sea opens into a range of blue-green bays that seem to dare you to dive in. The engine softens; conversation drops to the sound of water sliding past the hull.
