Highly recommend this tour if you're in Kalkan. It was really smooth from pick-up to drop-off, and everything felt well-organized. The sunken city was very cool to see, and I liked that they had a guide explaining things instead of just passing by. Super relaxing day.

A really enjoyable boat trip. The highlight for us was definitely seeing the sunken city through the glass—it’s such a unique experience. Everything from the pick-up to lunch was on time and well handled. The coastline around Kekova is just stunning.

Went with a group of friends and we had such a chill day out. The boat was spacious, and there was enough shade and sun depending on what you wanted. The stops were well-timed, and we loved jumping into the water at each one. Seeing the ruins from the glass deck was a nice touch.

We didn’t expect much, just wanted a calm day on the sea, but it exceeded our expectations. The glass bottom made the whole thing feel a bit more special, and the ruins of the sunken city were actually more interesting than we thought. The crew was kind and helpful throughout.
