Itinerary
-
DAY 1 : Xantos Ancient City - Çavdır - Üzümlü Village 13 km

- We will move to our hotel in Patara village for accommodation.
-
DAY 2 : Saribelen - Gökçeören Walk 13 km
- With a short transfer, we reach the starting point of our walk to Sarıbelen.
- In the beginning, we use a dirt tractor road used by the nomads (yörükler) and reach the path with a view of Kalkan and the islands.
- Now that we have left the center of Kaş and Kalkan, we see 1-2 nomadic groups (yörük obaları) and walk on a flat latitude to Gökçeören, intertwined with nature.
- After finishing our walk in Gökçeören at an altitude of 900, we explore the village.
- We will drive back to Patara to our hotel and explore Patara Ruins. Those who wish to end the day with a swim in the fine sandy Patara Beach in the evening can do that.
-
DAY 3 : Kas Limanagzi - Ufakdere - Uzumludere 15 km
- After a 40-minute transfer to Kaş, we start the walk from Limanağzı. Seeing the Limanağzı Rock Tombs, we proceed through the forest path.
- As we move forward, we will be enchanted by the wonderful landscapes. We walk parallel to the sea with a Meis Island View. This walk, where we can see Meis Island closely, is one of the most beautiful tracks.
- After reaching Ufakdere, our walk ends with a sea break at the end of the day in Üzümlüdere.
-
DAY 4 : Apollonia - Aperlai Bay Walk— 9 km -4 hours -150 m descent
- Half-Day Kekova Sunken City Boat Tour. OPTION: Those who do not want to participate in the walk CAN PASS ON THE BOAT!
- We start our walk from Apollonia with a short transfer from the hotel. After the hiking trail in the forest (which we start after a scrub vegetation area), we see the view of Aperlai Bay and reach the ancient ruins of Aperlai (Castle, ancient tombs, cistern, Aperlai bay). Aperlai is one of the ports where valuable purple colour is produced from snails in ancient times. Paints of purple-coloured fabrics and other purple materials were obtained from this area. In that period, a bad smell spread around due to production. We can still see some remnants. We will go to our boat, which is waiting for us.
- We will take a trip on the Kekova sunken city boat tour. We take our breaks in Tersane Bay, Kaleköy, the sunken city, and Hamidiye Bay.
