Kekova, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Turkey, offers a breathtaking blend of turquoise waters, rugged coastline, and rich history. This charming destination is celebrated for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear underwater ruins, and charming local culture. When it comes to sailing, Kekova is a skippered yacht charter paradise. It is bewitching, boasting unique coastal features and significant maritime traditions.
A multitude of marinas like Cavus Limani and Ucagiz serve as gateways to Kekova's striking beauty. Transporting you from bustling city life, Kekova ushers you into an enchanting world where ancient ruins meet tranquil waters. Navigation in Kekova is a blend of excitement, exploration, and immersive historical experiences. Its sparkling waters and steady winds provide for smooth sailing, while local customs like fish roasting and traditional boat-building give unique insight into the local way of life.
Kekova is a sanctuary for those seeking more than a simple boat trip. Its serene environment, coupled with the spectacular view, sets the stage for an unforgettable skippered yacht charter. Unparalleled natural beauty, vibrant marine fauna, submerged ancient ruins, and a bustling day and nightlife make Kekova a must-visit spot for skippered yachts for charter.
Reaching Kekova is an adventure in itself. The nearest airport, Dalaman Airport, is well connected globally. From the airport, local taxis or pre-booked transfers will transport you to the coast where your chartered yacht awaits. Kekova is also accessible by road from major Turkish cities like Antalya, Kas, or Kalkan.
Chartering a yacht in Kekova lets you sample its best offerings. The most popular route takes you to the glistening Sunken City, where the ruins of ancient Simena lie submerged just below the surface. From there, sail towards Kalekoy, reachable only by boat, and explore its impressive Byzantine castle. The Blue Cave, a captivating sea cave on the eastern tip of Kekova island, is another unmissable spot. This area, boasting an exciting blend of land and sea adventures, is best to visit on a weekly charter.
The favorable period for sailing in Kekova spans from April to October, with summer being the prime time for skippered yacht charter. However, an off-peak season visit can be equally rewarding, with fewer tourists and local festivities like Gokkaya Bay's blue crab festival adding to the overall experience.
Kekova enjoys a Mediterranean climate marked by hot summers and mild winters. Sailors can expect calm sea conditions and northern prevailing winds, making sailing both enjoyable and safe. The region's weather and consistently favourable sailing conditions contribute to its reputation as a top-class sailing destination.
Rich in history and culture, Kekova offers you a peek into Antiquity. From the rock tombs of Myra to the Byzantine castle in Kalekoy, each site is a testament to Kekova's captivating past. For an immersive experience, participate in local festivals, visit traditional markets in Üçağız village, or sample local delicacies like köfte and piyaz.
Kekova is a hotspot for outdoor enthusiasts. Apart from sailing, snorkeling over the sunken city, hiking to Lycian tombs, and kayaking through serene bays are memorable activities. When not exploring, visitors can unwind at waterfront restaurants, soak in the sun on a secluded beach, or observe turtles in their natural habitats.
Kekova's best marinas and anchorages include Cavus Limani, offering secure berths, and Karaloz Bay, famous for its turquoise waters. Üçağız Marina is a well-equipped anchorage spot, while Gokkaya Bay is a perfect stop for sailors seeking calm waters and an overnight stay.
When preparing for your Kekova yacht charter, packing swimwear, sun protection, comfortable clothing and footwear is a must. Additionally, bring waterproof bags for electronics, navigational gear, and a basic first-aid kit. For added enjoyment, don't forget your camera and entertainment essentials.
