Antalya departure blue cruise route is recommended for those
who will also want to observe history and see more ancients
sights on the way, besides the main idea of blue cruises:
escape from the tiresome city life into the untouched nature.
Day 1: Kemer (Antalya)
Embarking: Check in to boats after 15:30. Early arriving guests
may leave their luggage at the office of our local partners.
The cruise boats stay in the marina of Antalya on the first day
of the cruise program, therefore the guests can check-in to the
boats from early afternoon till late evening, which gives you
flexibility with arrival time of your flights or buses,
especially useful if you are not staying in a hotel in Antalya
the previous night. Thus, you will also have a chance to
discover lovely Antalya city on the first day.
Dinner on board and overnight at your private cabin at the
cruise boat.
Day 2: Olympos - Adrasan
We will set sail to the ancient city of Olympus (Olimpos),Antalya.
Olympus, one of the most important port cities of Lycia, has
been an element of mythological stories all throughout history.
Olympus was a home for pirates because of its location in the
past and today it is now known all over the world because of
its historical values, 3.200 meter long beautiful coast,
endemic plantation, and its wooden houses used as pensions
today. After lunch and a swimming break we will be heading to
Adrasan Çavus Bay for dinner and overnight stay.
Adrasan Bay is 8 miles away from Olympos, a place that you
would expect to see in a National Geographic magazine, set in
the middle of most beautiful untouched natural zone, which has
the most fantastic bronze colored sands stretching along the
numerous beaches. It is an exceptional place in Southern costs
of Turkey which tourism industry hasn't reached yet, a serenity
place with its pure nature, clean air and sea. It is a kind of
vacation destination that you will enjoy visiting year after
year with its natural attractions, an ideal location for boat
trips to nearby bays and islands, windsurfing, scuba-diving,
water-ski and similar activities.
Day 3: Demre - Cayagzi- Gokkaya
After breakfast the boat will depart for Demre (ancient Lycian
city of Myra) arriving around midday. The lunch will be served
in Demre bay. After lunch you can either stay in the bay or
join an approximately 2 hours optional tour of Demre-Myra with
an extra self-payment. The incredible rock-tombs carved on the
mountain slopes, the ancient theater which is still standing
and the Church of St. Nicholas who is believed to be the
original Santa Claus are the most interesting highlights of
Demre. After the tour, the boat will move on to Gokkaya bay,
arriving early in the evening. Dinner and overnight in Gokkaya
bay in Kekova.
Demre is the Lycian town of Myra, the home of Saint Nicholas of
Myra the original Santa Claus; located 25km west of Finike and
48km east of Kas, Myra was one of the most important cities in
antique Lycia. Coins have been found dating back to 300 BC but
logically the city must have been founded centuries earlier.
The city thrived as part of the Roman Empire and many public
buildings were constructed. The earliest church of St. Nicholas
at Myra was built in the 6th century. The present-day church
stems mainly from the 8th century; a monastery was added in the
second half of the 11th century. The ruins of the Lycian and
Roman towns are mostly covered by alluvial silts. The Acropolis
on the Demre plateau, the Roman theatre and the Roman bath (eski
hamam) have been partly excavated. The semi-circular theater
was destroyed in an earthquake in 141, but rebuilt afterwards.
Day 4: Tersane - Ucagiz
After breakfast we will cruise over the sunken city. We will be
docking at Tersane Bay for lunch and swimming break. For dinner
and overnight stay we will anchor at Üçağız Bay. If you wish,
you can join the optional Kas - Saklikent excursion.
Day 5: Simena - Kekova
After having breakfast in Ucagiz, you can take the chance to
visit Simena which is located on the mountain edge right behind
Kaleköy and opposite Kekova Island. There you can find the
Genoese Castle and the ruins of a theatre with a 300 capacity.
Dinner and overnight stay will be in Kekova.
Simena is the ancient Lycian name of Kalekoy which is a village
of the Kas district in the Antalya Province of Turkey on the
Mediterranean coast. Lycian League consisted of a group of city
states (Xantos, Patara, Myra, Pinara, Tlos and Olympos) dating
back to 13th century BC which was self-governed most of the
time although it has been under the control of greater empires
of Romans, Greeks and Persians. Kalekoy faces the island of
Kekova, and can be reached only by sea. The village lies amidst
a Lycian necropolis, which is partially sunken underwater.
Kalekoy is overlooked by a Byzantine castle, built in the
Middle Ages to fight the pirates which nested in Kekova. The
castle contains a small theatre. Kalekoy is a popular yachting
destination.
Kekova Island is a small Turkish island near Kas district of
Antalya province which faces the villages of Kalekoy (ancient
Simena) and Ucagiz (ancient Teimioussa). Kekova has an area of
4.5 km² and is uninhabited. On its northern side there are the
ruins—partly sunken—of Dolchiste/Dolikisthe, an ancient town
which was destroyed by an earthquake during the second century
A.D. Rebuilt and still flourishing during the Byzantine Empire
period, it was completely abandoned because of Arab incursions.
Day 6: Porto Ceneviz - Phaselis
We will start early in the morning and arrive at Ceneviz
(Genoese) Harbour or Sazak Bay. After lunch we will anchor at
Phaselis Bay. Phaselis was founded as a colony of the
Rhodesians in 7th century B.C. Phaselis has three different
bays and its people used to earn their living from the sea. The
city was also famous for perfume trade in ancient times. If you
wish, you can walk around the antique town full of antique
ruins which are located on the seashore. Dinner and overnight
stay will be in this beautiful bay.
Olympos is a green valley at the southern coast of Turkey, 90
km southwest of Antalya city near the Town of Kemer. The
ancient city was founded in the Hellenistic period dating back
to the 2nd century BC, sharing its name with the nearby Mount
Olympos. Near Olympos, located in the neighboring village of
Cirali and about 200 meters above sea level, the eternal flames
called the Chimaera may be seen issuing from the ground. The
source of the flames is actually natural gas, mostly methane,
seeping through cracks in the earth. The mythical Chimaera - or
Chimera - was a savage beast who sprouted fire from its mouth.
The Olympians worshipped the god of fire Hephaestos (Vulcan),
probably connected to the eternal flame. Apart from the ruins,
modern time Olympos village is well known for its simple
tree-house camps, where most tourists stay, and a natural
environment thanks to forests and vineyards near to a beautiful
beach. The Olympos village is located some distance from the
shore in the heart of the Olympos national park by the banks of
a small river. The surrounding area of the village offers best
conditions for trekking, Mountain biking, canyoning, rock
climbing.
Day 7: Antalya or Kemer
After breakfast, we will cruise to Ayisigi (moonlight) Bay.
Dinner and overnight stay will be in Kemer Marina or Antalya
Çelebi Marina. It is possible to check out from the boat in
