THE 7 MOST BEAUTIFUL BAYS FOR BLUE CRUISING IN THE KAŞ REGION

If you are planning a blue cruise starting from Kaş, deciding which bays to include in your route will shape the spirit of your trip. In this blog, we will share with our guests staying on board with Look Yachting the 7 most stunning bays of the Kaş and Kalkan area.

Let’s get started!

- Why Blue Cruise in Kaş?

Kaş and its surroundings are ideal for those who want to combine history and nature on a single boat. The area boasts crystal-clear waters, caves, and rich underwater life. Boats departing from this region can quickly reach ancient sites such as Kekova, Kaleköy, and the Sunken City. Along the coastline, hidden bays are waiting to be discovered. Since most of these bays are only accessible by sea, they offer a unique sense of exclusivity. The Kekova-Simena (Kaleköy)-Demre route is one of the most recommended, due to the abundance of sights along the way.

Note: If your cruise includes Kekova, your route will be rich both naturally and archaeologically. Simena/Kaleköy and the Sunken City appear even more impressive from the boat than expected.
