The Tour

First the group will paddle towards the Kekova Island and visit the Sunken City. A little further is a mini bay for the first swim stop on the Island.

From here it goes eastward to the Pirate cave , we can enter the cave and maybe even swim (if the traffic allows it).

After the cave we head westward back to Gökkaya bay for a swim.
