Operated by SAILNSTAY · Demre, Antalya Province
Aboard a traditional Turkish gulet, the coast moves like a slow breath: limestone cliffs slip past, gulls circle the wake, and bays the color of aquamarine invite you to drop anchor. The week-long loop from Demre threads the Sunken City of Kekova, the ruined harbors of Aperlai and Simena, and quiet coves only reachable from the water. Mornings begin with the smell of seawater and fresh bread; afternoons alternate between swims, short Lycian Way walks and time to explore hilltop ruins.
moderate.
7 nights / 8 days.
Suitable for travelers in average fitness; includes short uneven coastal hikes and frequent swimming breaks.
No—crews handle navigation and sailing; passengers should be comfortable boarding via small tenders and following safety briefings.
Most gulets provide basic masks and snorkels and coordinate swim stops; bring personal masks/snorkels if you prefer a custom fit.
Hikes are short (30–90 minutes) but on rocky, uneven terrain—expect moderate footing rather than long-distance trekking.
Bookings typically require passport details; non-EU visitors should have a valid passport and check Turkey’s entry requirements ahead of travel.
The Lycian coast preserves settlements from Lycian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras; Kekova’s ‘sunken city’ was partially submerged after earthquakes around 2,000 years ago.
Parts of the coast are protected marine and archaeological sites—follow crew guidance, avoid anchoring on seagrass and minimize single-use plastics.
