About this activity
An 11-hour cultural immersion combining three of Lycia's most significant archaeological sites—the soaring rock tombs of Myra, the sacred Church of St. Nicholas in Demre, and the haunting submerged ruins of Kekova Island. A glass-bottomed yacht cruise lets you view earthquake-destroyed ancient structures both above and below the waterline, all departing from Belek.
Explore ancient Lycia on a day trip and yacht cruise from Belek. See a historic rock tomb from Lycian times, marvel at ancient Greco-Roman amphitheaters, and sail to the beautiful Kekova Island.
Meet your driver outside your hotel and begin your adventure with a drive through the ancient state of Lycia. Marvel at an ancient rock tomb from the Lycian times and stop to visit the Greco - Roman amphitheater.
Next, visit the church of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker in Demre city. This ancient church sits above the 4th-century burial place of St. Nicholas, the original inspiration for Santa Claus. Enjoy a delicious lunch before heading to Kekova Island.
Board a glass-bottomed yacht and sail through pristine waters to reach this fascinating island. Sail by the mysterious sunken city of Kekova, an ancient Lycia city, destroyed by an earthquake.
Spot the ruins of the city and the Simena Castle from the side of the boat and under the water through the glass bottom. Before heading back, jump into the refreshing water for a swim. Finally, return to your hotel, having experienced Turkey's rich ancient history.

Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at your hotel pickup to secure a good seat on the coach; morning light on the rock tombs is exceptional for photography.
- ★Bring snorkeling gear or rent it locally if you want to see submerged ruins up close during the swim stop.
- ★The Church of St. Nicholas can be crowded mid-day; ask your guide about less-visited side chapels and crypts.
- ★Wear reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard for the boat—the Mediterranean sun reflects intensely off the water.
