Aperlae Boat Trip

Aperlai is a small, ancient Lycian port in Turkey. The ancient city of Aperlai has several sarcophagi, most of which are from the Roman era. The most glorious ruins of Aperlai ancient city are the massive city walls that start from the coastline and merge into the hillside. Parts of these walls are still visible. There are also the remains of two Roman baths near the ancient harbour.

Firstly, please note that the itineraries of our private Aperlai Kas boat trips are planned according to weather conditions, density of bays, and demands of our guests. Instead of anchoring at the same bays with other boats, we prefer different bays to give our guests a sense of comfort and freedom.

We meet up with our guests at 09.30 in the morning in Kas Marina and sail from Kas to Inonu Bay, the first stop of our Aperlai boat trip.
You can sip your tea/coffee on our deck enjoying the gorgeous panoramic views of Kas or try to catch local fish using our fishing sets supplied on board.

Following our one-hour voyage, we will take a swimming break at our first stop: Inonu Bay. You can observe the fish in the waters of this serene island using the goggles and flippers supplied from our boat, or have great moments doing activities like paddle board, kayak available on deck.

We will leave Inonu Bay at 11:30 to have our lunch and head to Aperlai ancient Lycian city, boasting of its rich historical heritage.
As you enjoy the sea and explore the secret underwater life, your all-organic lunch composed of tasty olive oil dishes and grills is cooked.
After our pleasant lunch on the chilly water of the Mediterranean, we sail for our next stop: The Twelve Isles.

Now it’s time to swim along the Twelve Isles, renowned for its tempting shipwreck and its impressive canyon, just beside Kastellorizo (Megisti) Island. You will dive into the depths of history as you notice the shipwreck of 1960s, and you’ll fall in love with the underwater beauties and diverse fish species.

Now it’s time for refreshment in Harbour Mouth Bay as fresh fruit is served to you. In the meantime, you can visit the sunken bomber or have enjoyable moments at one of the calm and lovely beaches nearby. During our 8.5-hour Aperlai Kas boat trip, you will both see many historical attractions and swim in the clean waters of the Mediterranean.
