On this unique adventure, our kayaks allow us to explore places no one else will see. You’ll walk on the paths used by ancient Lycians and see their theaters, libraries, castles, and tombs. We paddle over sunken cities, explore sea caves, and venture into inaccessible lagoons that the boats can't reach! We take 'secret' hikes that most groups miss. It's exciting to sit at the top of Lycian ruins of Apollonia or the castle at Kekova and watch the Mediterranean, as the Lycians did thousands of years ago.

Participants:
    The participants of this trip do not need kayak experience. You will be kayaking several days behind each other, stepping in and out of your kayak, when the kayak has flipped you're able to get out of it. You don't need to be able to make an Eskimo roll.

    The group has minimum of 6 and maximum of 18 participants. We kayak according the sea kayak rules. The age limit is between 15 and 65.

Material:
     You kayak in two person kayaks made by Prijon. Every participant gets a paddle, spray skirt, and a life jacket. Every participant gets a tent and a mattress; we also have two person tents. During the whole trip, there will be a transport boat, which will transport all luggage, food and kitchen stuff.
There are also some waterproof barrels for personal possessions. 

The price includes:

     Material, guide, transport boat, food and excludes the drinks.  

Tips:
     The best place to change your money is in Kas. Changing money in your own country is very expensive. During the trip you don't need a lot of clothes. We advise you to take bathing clothes, 2 towels, 2 shorts, 1 shirt with long sleeves, 2 T-shirts, hat, good sunglasses, shoes/sandals you can wear in the water, sleeping bag or sheet, small sponge bag and something to read. Try to keep your luggage as small as possible so it is easy to put in the boat or on the pickup. The sun is very strong, so you need a good protection milk with at the least factor 8. Don't forget a hat with a peak and a long sleeved shirt or blouse.
