A short trip out on the day you visit Myra and the Church of St Nicholas: the Pirate Cave, the Sunken City and an hour ashore at Kaleköy.
Standard hours — we can shift them to fit your day.
For visitors in Demre for the ruins of Myra and the Church of St Nicholas: the boat leaves from Çayağzı, the harbour in the same town — Kekova from the water alongside the sites on land. Our winter and shoulder-season trip, leaving any time you like between 10:00 and 15:00. Built for the history and the views rather than the swimming: a slow pass at the mouth of the Pirate Cave, on past Burç castle and the Byzantine ruins, a slow run along the Sunken City and an hour ashore at Kaleköy. We do not take the boat inside the cave: it is a breeding site for the Mediterranean monk seal and has been chained shut to boats since 2025. Hot tea and coffee throughout.
