Sailing into Yarılğan Bay was like entering a hidden paradise—calm waters, perfect for snorkeling around the Bat Cave. Cruising past the Sunken City on a glass-bottom section made the history come alive. Lunch on deck with that view was perfection.

Five of us had an epic day: snorkeling through the Twelve Isles, spotting tropical fish around the sunken shipwreck, then relaxing at Güvercin Island with its quirky shark statue. Our captain knew every secret cove—truly unforgettable.

As someone traveling alone, I loved how welcoming the crew was. They guided me through the best snorkel spots and explained the Lycian ruins at Tersane Bay. Ending the day at Simena Castle ruins gave me a beautiful perspective of the coastline.

My two teenagers usually groan at history, but they were glued to the glass-bottom boat over the Sunken City. They loved snorkeling in the clear water, then running around Simena Castle. A perfect blend of fun and learning.

This was our best day in Kaş. The guide’s stories about the submerged Lycian city were fascinating. The marine life around the Twelve Isles was stunning, and we ended with a gentle climb up to Simena Castle for sunset.

We were a group of four friends and couldn’t get enough of the snorkeling at Güvercin Island after our onboard lunch. The shark statue underwater was a hilarious surprise. By the time we reached Simena Castle, we were already planning our next trip.

We still can’t believe the clarity of the water at Tersane Bay. Snorkeling there felt like swimming in an aquarium. The whole crew was professional and friendly, making us feel right at home on board.

Beautiful bays and a fun shipwreck snorkel, but the lunch took a bit longer than I’d hoped. Once we ate though, drifting around Güvercin Island made up for the wait.

Great snorkeling spots and fascinating history at the Sunken City. The only small gripe was the boat felt a bit crowded at Akvaryum-like stops. Otherwise, a brilliant day.

The bays were gorgeous, and Simena Castle was lovely, but the snorkeling spots felt too short. We spent more time gearing up than actually in the water.
