Fun and different activity to do in the area - Loved our day! Its 8km kayaking but doesnt feel like it at all in a double kayak. Yasar was very patient and helpful as a guide and we loved the route and swim spots. The water was the perfect temperature for kayaking and swimming. The lunch after was actually our favourite meal of turkey so far - flavoured and fresh fish and chicken with rice and salad. Would recommend if youre looking for an interesting activity to do in the area.

Excellent kayaking with a purpose - Excellent experience! Our instructor Yasar managed the group professionally, showed the best places on the route and told history insights. It is 8 km route, 4 hours of paddling, I've got a bit tired at the end. But the tempo is not hard, anyone can handle it. I recommend!

Kekova sea kayak trip - Our guide Yasar was amazing. He was friendly and patient with the group. The sites are stunning and the only way I believe to enjoy them is by kayak so you can up close. The Simena castle had stunning views. The lunch of fresh caught fish with rice and salad on a rooftop patio was perfect to end a perfect day on the water.
