Explore Local History and Nature on the Blue Cruise to Demre

Tour members will depart from Demre at 4:00 p.m. Demre is a coastal town named after the river that lies by the ancient Lycian town of Myra. We will guide you through many historical sites, cultural hotspots, beaches, and bays that are perfect for relaxing and swimming. The next stop on our tour is Pirates' Cave, located on Asirli Island, with the legend of its name deriving from pirates using the location as a secret hideout. Following the coastline southwestwards, we will head to Kekova, which is known for its uninhabited island and is home to the Sunken City, which we will visit en route. From here, the tour will cross back over to the mainland to Simena, an ancient Lycian town, before visiting Simena Castle. After an action-packed day, the tour will wind down in beautiful Gokkaya Bay.

Yaglica Bay is a warm, secluded inlet located north of the Strait of Akar. It is highly sheltered from all but the northwest winds, which provide a cool breeze for visitors during the hot summer days. Due to the calm, clear waters, this bay is a favorite for boat excursions, particularly to anchor overnight. The next stop from here will be the coastal town of Kas. The town is located on the Lycian Way and is known today for being a popular resort and holiday destination. Whether it be beaches, bars, restaurants, or hiking tours, Kas has it all. It also has a rich history that dates back to the Lycian Period, with remnants of the ancient city of Antiphellos.

Butterfly Valley is one of the most popular sites located in and around Fethiye and is a must-see location. The valley is home to various species of butterflies, hence its name, and is a great spot for ecotourism, camping, and enjoying its wonderful beach. Another must-see site and arguably the most well-known beach in Fethiye is the Blue Lagoon. The beach is naturally sheltered, providing incredibly warm, clear, and still waters, perfect for those with children. From here, we will move on to St. Nicholas Island, which also goes by the name of Gemiler Island. The island is home to a number of beautiful beaches and many ancient ruins, one of which is the tomb of St. Nicholas himself.

On the final day of the tour, we will depart from Samanlik Bay and end the tour in Fethiye at 9:00 a.m. Samanlik Bay lies a short distance away from Fethiye’s center and is home to coral reefs and an abundant ecosystem.
