Üçağız (Kekova) – Antália Destination Kaş and Kalkan about 158 km from Antália

How to get there

Road from the Kaş or Demre region to Üçağız. Check the pier and the boat meeting point, including the overland portion in the total outing time.

How many days

One day for a selected maritime circuit; one night suits those who prefer to start and finish in the settlement itself.

When to go

May to October usually concentrates the navigation, always depending on the sea and operations. In milder months, the climb to Simena tends to be more comfortable.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

Car or transfer helps reach the pier. The main excursion is by boat and the walks in Kaleköy are done on foot.
