Setting Sail on a Pirate Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can captivate both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Pirate Boat Tour in Kemer, I knew it was something my family and I had to try. The idea of sailing the Mediterranean on a pirate ship, exploring ancient ruins, and swimming in crystal-clear waters sounded like the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Our journey began with a seamless pick-up from our hotel, a service that was both punctual and friendly. As we arrived at the Kemer Marina, the sight of the pirate ship was enough to ignite the imaginations of my three kids. The ship, with its wooden decks and pirate flags, was a sight to behold. We were greeted by a lively crew, dressed in pirate attire, who made us feel like part of their crew from the moment we stepped on board.

Exploring Phaselis Bay

Once we set sail, the excitement only grew. The first stop on our journey was Phaselis Bay, a place steeped in history and natural beauty. As we approached the bay, the ruins of ancient Phaselis came into view, offering a glimpse into the past. We disembarked to explore the ruins, and it was fascinating to walk through the remnants of this ancient city, imagining what life was like centuries ago.

The kids were thrilled to play pirates among the ruins, and it was a joy to see them so engaged and curious. After our exploration, we returned to the ship for a delicious lunch on deck. The food was simple yet satisfying, and the views of the bay made it a meal to remember. We then had the opportunity to swim in the bay’s turquoise waters, a refreshing break that everyone enjoyed.

Swimming in Hidden Coves

The adventure didn’t end at Phaselis Bay. Our next stops were the Bay of Heaven and the Cave of Pirates, each offering unique swimming experiences. The Bay of Heaven was aptly named, with its serene waters and stunning surroundings. It was the perfect spot for a family swim, and we all relished the chance to cool off and enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean.

The Cave of Pirates was a hit with the kids, who loved the idea of swimming near a pirate’s hideout. The crew shared stories and legends about the cave, adding an element of mystery and excitement to the experience. As we sailed back to Kemer Marina, the sun setting on the horizon, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the memories we had created.

This pirate boat tour was more than just a day on the water; it was an adventure that brought our family closer together. The combination of history, nature, and fun made it a perfect outing for families looking to explore the Mediterranean in a unique way. If you’re planning a trip to Kemer, I highly recommend setting sail on this unforgettable journey.
