This trip takes you on scenic journey to some of the most beautiful and easily accessible areas around. For lunch we will stop at a calm beach while relaxing and taking in the views.

We start the trip at Ucagiz and paddle eastwards: during a delightful approach to Kale (ancient Simena) you'll notice the unusual shapes of the islets and outcrops that you pass, results of quarrying along the water line to provide stone for the buildings you've been seeing all day. The medieval castle of the Knights of Saint John, sitting high on the hill is surrounded by the remains of the ancient city, offers a bird's-eye view of Kekova.

Kalekoy (Simena) which faces Kekova is remarkable with its historical cites left from the Lycian era. The Lycian Castle, which has been restored during the Middle Ages, still stands proudly with a small amphitheatre. You will then visit Kalekoy, to witness history and traditional village life intermingles. After getting lost in its narrow streets filled with traditional houses, stores, and natural beauty, you leave Kalekoy with indescribable feelings.

Then, paddling eastward take us to Kisneli island and Asirli Island with its big sea cave used at one time by pirates, then to quiet Gokkaya harbor. Having the pleasure of paddling in the crystal clear blue waters, sunbathing, snorkelling or swimming on the isolated beaches makes the impact of the trip much stronger. We then return inland for a break while discovering the coastal ruins of Istlada and the coastal features of Gokkaya Bay. After the break we paddle to Demre-Cayagzi river mouth, also called Kokar Bay. If time permits, there we will paddle up a spring flow in search of birds and natural springs and we disembark at the ruins of Andriake, port for Myra, home of St. Nicola’s church known to the world as Father Christmas. .
