Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Unlike most sea kayaking tours, this full-day expedition goes beyond the Sunken City to the rarely visited ancient city of Aperlai, combining history, swimming, local culture and a true sense of exploration. With fewer visitors and more time to explore, you’ll experience hidden bays, quiet archaeological sites and the slower rhythm of the Lycian coast.
