Why you’ll love this…

A boat trip to the island of Kekova and its collection of underwater ruins is on the cards
If the weather's warm, the skipper will drop the anchor so you can go for a cooldown dip
Lunch is included in the tour, and you'll tuck in to Turkish fare at a restaurant on the mainland
You'll visit the ancient city of Myra and the 1,400-year-old Church of St Nicholas, in Demre
Your guide for the day is a local expert who knows everything about the sights you'll see

What to expect

Proceedings get under way with a scenic drive with a comfort stop at the Sahin Hill in Kumluca. Next, sail to Kekova island, a protected area famed for its underwater ruins. These are the relics of the ancient town of Simena, partially submerged by an earthquake in the 2nd century. There's time for a swim in the warmer months – the water is clear and inviting – it would be difficult to resist a dip in the sea. But if the weather doesn't permit a boat trip, there's a visit to the fascinating Demre museum instead.

After a tasty lunch of typical dishes freshly prepared in a local restaurant, it's time to visit the Church of St Nicholas, who's better known today as Santa Claus. Finally, you'll have time to tour the site of the ancient city of Myra to explore the well-preserved amphitheatre and see the intricately carved rock tombs, high in the cliff face.

There's also a 12,000-seater stadium and the remnants of a Bronze Age acropolis.Next, we go to Aspendos to see one of the best-preserved theatres from antiquity.
