Some trips explore the many beautiful bays, beaches and sea caves along the coast near Kalkan while other tours go farther to gorgeous (and not-to-be-missed) Kekova, one of the most beautiful areas of the Turkish coast. Daily tours to the Kekova area are popular – these go overland to the village of Uçaðýz (to save time getting there), where you board your glass-bottom boat.
All these trips include swim stops and Mediterranean Turkish meals are usually served on board as well (usually included in the price, drinks are extra). Fishing trips and romantic moonlight cruises can be arranged also.

Xanthos was the capital city of the Lycian Federation and its greatest city for most of Lycian history. It was made famous to the Western world in the 19th century by its British discoverer Charles Fellows. It is very old - finds date back to the 8th century BC, but it is possible that the site may have existed during the Bronze Age or during the first centuries of the Iron Age
