5.00Fantastic sights and photos, unreal mix of Mediterranean blue water, small islands, hidden coves, and friendly people. The private tour got us away from the big groups of kayakers and allowed us to move at our pace through the sights. A few stops to snorkel off the beaches, an ice cream stop at a 2000 year old tomb, and a good guided kayak over the sunken city. We finished up kayaking by the Lycian necropolis before sitting down to a fresh Turkish coastal lunch of grilled fish and local salad with herbs. A great half-day trip! Note the trip requires a lot of getting in and out of kayaks on sharp/slippery rocks. Our guide was on time, knowledgeable, and eager to point out interesting sites. All communications were by WhatsApp, which worked fine. Parking is at a lot in town for 150TL cash.
Sporty, enlightening, delicious. 10/10
