The Kaş to Olympos blue cruise is a short shared gulet trip for travellers who have three days to spare and want to see the Kekova coast from the water. You check in at Kaş harbour at 11:30 on a Sunday, spend two nights at anchor and leave the boat at Demre’s Çayağzı harbour at about 10:00 on Day 3, with a shuttle on to Olympos or Demre bus station.
After lunch on deck the gulet heads west towards Kalkan and spends the first night in Aquarium Bay, a calm anchorage with very clear water for your first swim. On Day 2 you sail slowly alongside the Sunken City of Kekova, where Lycian walls and foundations lie just under the surface, then moor near Kekova to visit Simena Castle and its view over the islands. The afternoon and evening are spent in sheltered Gökkaya Bay, with time to swim and relax on deck. On the final morning there is one more swim and breakfast before the boat reaches Demre.
You travel on a premium-class gulet with a mixed-age group of 12 to 20 guests. Cabins are double, twin, triple or shared, each with a private bathroom and air conditioning for about six hours a day; solo travellers can share or pay extra for a private cabin. If you prefer, you can also sleep on deck under the stars. Meals are cooked on board as shown in the programme.

Check in at Kaş harbour at 11:30, meet the crew and your fellow passengers and get a short briefing about the days ahead. Lunch is served on deck as the gulet leaves the harbour and heads along the rocky coast towards the quieter waters near Kalkan. In the afternoon the boat moves between small coves before anchoring for the night in Aquarium Bay, known for its calm, very clear water. Have your first swim and spend the evening on board. Meals: lunch and dinner.
After breakfast the gulet sails to the Sunken City of Kekova, a Lycian settlement more than 2,000 years old that was partly submerged by earthquakes in the 2nd century. The boat glides slowly alongside the walls and foundations below the surface; as it is a protected archaeological site, swimming, diving and snorkelling are not allowed. Next you moor near Kekova and have time to visit Simena Castle, with views across the islands and coastline. In the afternoon the gulet continues to Gökkaya Bay, a sheltered anchorage where you can swim and relax on deck. Meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, fruit and dinner.
Start the day with a morning swim and a last breakfast on board. The gulet then sails to Demre Çayağzı harbour, arriving at about 10:00, when you check out and say goodbye to the crew. Lunch is not included today. At the harbour you are met and taken by bus either to Olympos (about 2 hours), an area known for its tree-house style accommodation, or to Demre bus station (about 10 minutes). From the bus station, buses to Antalya and Kaş leave every 30 minutes and buses to Fethiye every hour, with no need to book ahead. Meals: breakfast.
