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.

​

Simena is our stop for a well deserved and a little late lunch.

There will be plenty of time to explore the village.

Depending on timing we can ad more swim-breaks during the final part.
