Absolutely fantastic day trip to Kekova with Captain Ergun! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and enjoyable. Captain Ergun is incredibly knowledgeable about the region, sharing fascinating stories about the sunken city, ancient ruins, and local history. The boat was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, ensuring a relaxing and smooth journey. We also enjoyed a delicious, freshly prepared lunch on board.

Very well organised tour. Be prepared for a long day of sailing and a few wonderful swimming spots. The boat was very clean with plenty of space. Lunch provided was quite good (choice of chicken or fish, bulgor pilavi, pasta and a salad). Soft drinks/coffee/tea/alcohol prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended when you're in Kas!
