Tour Overview

The adventure ramps up as you explore deep canyons and discover lost cities at sea, before setting sail on a boat tour in search of tranquil bays and hidden coves around the Turkish and Greek islands.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Fly To Dalaman; Transfer To Kas.
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: No Meals
On arrival in Kas, you'll make your way (either via a scheduled group
transfer or independently) to your boutique hotel, the Kas Artemis Hotel. The
outdoor pool beckons to swim off any post-flight grogginess. Have a sundowner
and wind down into holiday mode: the real adventure starts tomorrow.
Day 2 : Jeep Safari To Some Of The Region's Best Beaches And Canyons
Location: Saklikent National Park, Patara Beach, Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
You'll be collected at 9.30 am today; perhaps more of a lie-in than your
average weekday. You'll be driven by jeep to Kaputas Beach to see the
turquoise waters that epitomise this part of Turkey. As well as being ideal
Instagram fodder, it's a real scene-setter for the trip ahead. Then it's on
to a couple of traditional Greek villages where you'll stop for a late
breakfast.
Then, you head further inland to canyon country. On foot, you'll pass through
Gizlikent Gorge to find its incredible waterfall. Then explore further into
Saklikent National Park to see the deep canyon carved between two mountains,
before stopping for lunch in these spectacular surroundings.
A visit to Patara Beach follows, for another hit of that pure azure sea.
There's time for a swim before the day wraps up around 6.00 pm and you return
to the Kas Artemis Hotel.
Day 3 : A Full Day Sea Kayaking And Discover A Lost City
Location: Üçağız Kekova Tekne Kooperatifi, Kekova Island, Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
It's an earlier start this morning, heading out around 8.00 am to Ucagiz.
This is where you'll get a briefing before hitting the water in a sea kayak,
bound for Kekova island. If you managed to squeeze in a few extra gym
sessions before your trip, you'll be grateful for the extra stamina today.
Kekova island is the site of a sunken city, and you'll be able to make out
the layout of houses beneath the surface. Lunch is in an enviable spot - the
village of Simena, which is inaccessible by road. A hilltop castle overlooks
it, and you'll catch views of the whole bay.
Rest up this evening. You'll need your energy for a challenging day
tomorrow…
Day 4 : Go Canyoning! Abseil, Swim And Plunge Into Pools Of Cool Water
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
There's an adrenaline-charged day in store today, and you'll need a head for
heights too. You're off to the mountains behind Kas, stopping at the Kibris
Canyon. You'll be provided with all the gear and spend the day canyoning,
swimming, abseiling and plunging into the cold river water.
Day 5 : Spend A Day At Sea Exploring The Beautiful Turkish And Greek Islands
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After yesterday's antics, the tempo is dialled down. Ice cold drink in hand
and soaking up the sunshine, you'll set sail from Kas Harbour to explore bays
and coves around the Turkish and Greek islands. You'll get a sense of the
region's ancient history as you meander around the rocky outcrops. Lunch on
board is fresh and leisurely. Bliss.
Day 6 : Hit The Road On Two Wheels And Cycle Through The Forests
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
Fuel up at breakfast, you'll need this morning's carbs to turbocharge an
exhilarating day in the mountains. You'll spend the morning cycling along
trails that ascend through the cedar forest, with the majestic Kibris Gorge
within sight. A homemade lunch is served in a village house before you
descend on fast roads back to Kas. Fitness not what it used to be? A guide
and minibus are on hand to help out any stragglers! Â
Day 7 : Today Is Free For You To Choose From Optional Activities. A Farewell Dinner Wraps Things UpÂ
Location: Kastellorizo, Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Today is yours to spend as you like. Ramp things up with options to paraglide
or SCUBA dive, visit the local market, or if you'd rather enjoy some R 'n' R
before heading home, take a Turkish bath.
In the early evening, we board the ferry for a 20-minute journey (plus
customs checks) to the Greek island of Kastellorizo, also known as Megisti
to the locals or Meis in Turkey. This is the most easterly of the Dodecanese
Islands, and one of the most picturesque. After a stroll around the colourful
harbour, enjoy a farewell dinner before returning to Kas.
