DAY 3

HIKE Apollonia – Aperlae 7 km (+75m -379m) – Boat trip in Kekova

A 30 minute drive takes you to the small village of Kılıçlı to start the hike. The ruins of ancient Apollonia are also located nearby. For a place in the middle of nowhere, this forgotten site has a lot to offer. The stony path starts descending through low vegetation before coming upon the sarcophagi of Aperlae. The ancient economy of this town was driven by the valuable Tyrian dye derived from a type of marine snail. Your efforts on the hike are rewarded with a nice boat trip over the Kekova sound with its turquoise waters.  Having seen the sunken city and Simena, the boat trip ends in Ucagiz where you’ll meet with the car to go back to Kas.

Overnight in Hideaway Hotel, Kaş
