I was on my solo trip and had a single kayak. Had an Amazing experience kayaking and see the sunken city, castle ruins, lycian tombs etc. Our guide Salim is very experienced although he speaks few english. I recommend this trip but as it's very physical, you need to paddle and sometimes the sea is not so friendly, and hiking to the top of the hill, you better be in a very good condition

After leaving the harbor, we peddled to the first spot; a bay with a few old Lycian structures. Although Salim tried his absolute best, his English was just not good enough to really explain what we were looking at, and basically all that was said was ‘we can explore’ (either the structures/island or the water). I was really looking forward to exploring the water in the hope to come across some old jars or something; however, there was no snorkeling gear… That was extremely disappointing, so if you do go, bring your own gear!
We peddled on to the sunken city, but although the visibility was amazing, it is really hard to see what is underwater without proper (or any) equipment. We didn’t really get a feel what we were looking at, and communication proved difficult. After the sunken city, we made our way to the castle, which offers amazing views (definitely walk up). We ended the tour with lunch in the harbor, the chicken was good, the rest of the food was disappointing to say the least.
