Explore Antalya and Kekova

Boarding will start at 15:30p.m from Antalya Celebi Marina or Kemer Marina. Boarding the gulet in Antalya Celebi Marina or Kemer Marina, we enjoy a 'welcome aboard' drink with our captain and crew. A short briefing from the captain ensures everyone is familiar with the yacht and what we will do during the week to come. On the first day, our boat will be anchored at Antalya or Kemer Marina for dinner and overnight stay.Antalya has been a residential area since the Palaeolithic times. The city was under the reign of Lidia in the 7th century B.C., of Persians in 456 B.C., and of Alexander the Great in 333 B.C. After the death of Alexander, during the reign of Bergama king Attalos, a new city called Attaleia was founded and was conquered by the Selcuks in 1207. The most important historical buildings to see in the city are; 'Hadrian's Gate', 'Castle Gate', 'Clock Tower', 'City-walls', 'Inner Castle', 'Broken Minaret', Antalya Archaeology Museum and 'Yivli Minare Mosque' which is the landmark of the city.
