Tour Itinerary
Hotel Pickup & Departure
Our professional driver picks you up from your hotel in Kas at 09:00 AM sharp. If you're staying in Antalya, we arrange early morning transfer via wecaretransfer.com. We drive to the Kas marina where your kayaking adventure begins.
Kayak Equipment Briefing & Setup
Meet your certified sea kayaking guide at the marina. Receive a safety briefing, equipment inspection, and paddling technique instruction. All gear is fitted to your size and checked for safety. We ensure you're comfortable and confident before heading to open water.
Paddle to Kekova Sunken City
Begin your paddling journey toward the Sunken City of Kekova. The water is crystal clear, and you'll observe the submerged Lycian ruins throughout your paddle. Your guide shares history and points out specific ruins—tombs, houses, and ceremonial structures visible beneath the water.
Snorkeling & Cave Exploration
Stop in a calm area for snorkeling. Explore the underwater landscape with provided snorkel gear, viewing fish, sea creatures, and the submerged ruins from below. Then navigate through dramatic sea caves accessible only by kayak. Your guide safely leads you through spectacular cave formations.
Lunch at Simena Village
Paddle to the charming village of Simena and enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch at a waterfront restaurant. Fresh mezze, grilled fish, and local specialties are served. Explore the hillside village and climb to the ancient castle for panoramic views of the entire bay while digesting your meal.
Tersane Island & Marine Exploration
Paddle to Tersane Island, featuring Byzantine shipyard ruins and pristine beaches. Explore the archaeological remains of this ancient maritime center. The calm waters are perfect for easy paddling. Take photos and enjoy the peaceful, isolated nature of this special location.
Return to Marina & Transfer Home
Begin your paddle back to Kas marina as the afternoon light turns golden. Debrief with your guide about the day's highlights and captures. Return equipment and freshen up. Your driver awaits to transfer you back to your hotel, or arrange onward transport to Antalya Airport via wecaretransfer.com.

Kaş Kekova Sea Kayaking — A Private WeCare Experience
Glide a sea kayak over a 2,000-year-old sunken city: from the harbour of Kaş, WeCare arranges a private, unhurried paddle across the impossibly clear water above the submerged Lycian ruins of Kekova and the castle village of Simena — no coach, no crowd, just you and a guide on glass.
What to Expect on the Day
After pickup, you launch from Üçağız and paddle the sheltered channel toward Kekova Island, where staircases, doorways and amphorae of a Lycian town lie just beneath your hull in water so clear it seems to vanish. Your guide points out the ruins below, you pause to swim in quiet coves, and you land beneath the Crusader castle of Simena for a climb to the view and a relaxed lunch before paddling back.
Why Book It Privately with WeCare
A private experience means no 7am coach, no forty strangers and no gift-shop detours. WeCare collects you from your hotel door in a cool Mercedes, pairs you with a licensed English-speaking guide, and shapes the day around your pace — an earlier start to beat the crowds, a longer swim, a slower lunch. The vehicle and the guide are yours alone.
What's Included
- Stable sea kayaks, paddles, life jackets and a safety briefing
- Private air-conditioned Mercedes transfer from your hotel — never shared
- Licensed, English-speaking guide and qualified activity instructors
- All core equipment and safety gear for the activity
- Bottled water on board and child seats on request
- One fixed price agreed up front, confirmed in writing
Who It's For
It suits beginners and families — the channel is calm and the pace gentle, with no experience needed and double kayaks so children paddle with a parent. Confident swimmers will enjoy the snorkel stops most, but everyone can simply float and look down.
Good to Know
Bring swimwear, a hat, reef-safe sunscreen and a towel; water shoes help on the rocky landings. Mornings are calmest. The sunken ruins are protected, so you paddle above them but don't dive or touch — your guide explains the rules.
Reserve with WeCare
Message the WeCare desk on WhatsApp or book online — tell us your hotel, party size and date, and we confirm a private guide, a fixed price and a pickup time in writing. Combine it with your airport transfer and we handle the whole trip end to end.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Sunken City of Kekova is an ancient Lycian settlement from around the 2nd century BCE. It was partially submerged due to natural geological changes and earthquakes that affected the Mediterranean coast. The crystal-clear waters of Kekova allow kayakers to see the underwater ruins, including tombs, houses, and ceremonial structures, making it a unique archaeological experience accessible only by water.
