About this place

Kekova Sunken City

Kekova Sunken City is a submerged Lycian settlement off Kaleköy on Antalya's western coast, 180 km and 3 hours 6 minutes from Antalya Airport.

Kekova Sunken City is a stretch of Lycian coastline where an ancient settlement slipped beneath the sea after earthquakes, leaving staircases, walls and house foundations visible just under clear turquoise water. Boats glide over the ruins between Kekova Island and the village of Kaleköy, crowned by a medieval hilltop castle with Lycian sarcophagi standing in the shallows below.

Reaching Kekova takes 180 km and 3 hours 6 minutes from Antalya Airport, following the coast road past Demre towards Üçağız. There is no practical public transport to the boat jetties, so this is a full-day private-transfer trip: we drop you at the Üçağız harbour for your boat tour and collect you from the same quay afterwards.

The sunken ruins lie in a protected marine zone reached only by boat — glass-bottom tours, gület day trips or sea kayak — since swimming directly over the ruins is prohibited. Boats leave from Üçağız or Kaş; the open deck offers little shade, and boarding involves a short jetty walk rather than steps or a paved path.

Practical information

Time Needed
Allow a full day: roughly three to four hours on the water plus the return drive each way.
Footwear & Terrain
Wear non-slip deck shoes or sandals; boarding is via a short jetty walk, not steps or trails.
Shade & Water
Decks offer little shade, so bring a hat, sun protection and plenty of drinking water.
Best Time of Day
Morning departures give the calmest water and the clearest view down onto the submerged ruins.

Why MovXtra for your Kekova Sunken City transfer?

4 key benefits

Benefit 1

Correct harbour, confirmed before departure

Kekova is reached by boat from Üçağız or Kaş. We confirm your tour operator's departure harbour before leaving the airport, so we drive you straight to the right quay — no wasted time.

Benefit 2

Fixed price, no surprises

Your Kekova rate is set at booking — no meter, no traffic surcharge, no fuel adjustment for the 180 km run. The price you're quoted for the return day trip is the price you pay.

Benefit 3

Licensed and insured

MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, covering the full 180 km run to Kekova and back under Turkish tourism-transport law.

Benefit 4

Driver at your pickup point, no searching

Wherever you are staying in the region, your driver collects you from the pickup address you entered when booking. If your trip begins with a flight, look for your name on a sign in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall. Collect your bags and head straight to the car — no taxi queues before a long coastal drive to Kekova.

Private transfer vs. taxi

A taxi from the airport runs on a meter for the full 180 km to Kekova, so the fare climbs with traffic or detours, and negotiating a return trip from a small harbour village is unreliable. Your MovXtra transfer is a fixed price agreed before you leave arrivals, with the same car waiting for the return leg.

Planning Your Return Trip

On a Kekova day trip, the same vehicle and driver stay with you: we drop you at Üçağız harbour, then wait or return at the time you set once your boat tour is done, so there's no second booking or taxi hunt at a remote quay.

“We booked a private transfer with MovXtra before arriving in Turkey, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication via both email and WhatsApp was quick, friendly, and professional. We were a group of 14 people, and during our holiday we used their services for several transfers. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, the driver was friendly and helpful, and every journey went perfectly. 🚐👌 There is honestly nothing we could fault. We will definitely use MovXtra again on our future trips to Antalya. Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced private transfer service in Antalya. 🙏🇹🇷”

“I used Movxtra for both my airport transfers in Antalya — from the airport to my hotel and then back to the airport. I was very satisfied with the service from start to finish. The website is very easy to use, with clear and fixed prices, and there is no need to pay in advance. You simply pay the driver after arriving at your destination, which I found very convenient. Their WhatsApp communication is also excellent — they respond extremely quickly. After making the booking, I recommend contacting them directly on WhatsApp, as it makes communication even faster and easier. Both drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, spacious, and had good air conditioning. I would definitely recommend Movxtra, especially if you want a reliable airport transfer without having to pay upfront. The fixed price and payment upon arrival make the whole process simple and stress-free. Very good service and definitely a company I would use again!”

Kekova transfer — frequently asked questions

Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.

Tap a question to view details.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle, not per person. Your quoted Kekova fare covers the whole car — up to its seating capacity — for the one-way or return journey, so groups and families pay the same fixed price regardless of how many people are travelling.

How long is the transfer from Antalya Airport to Kekova Sunken City?

The drive from Antalya Airport to Kekova Sunken City covers 180 km and takes 3 hours 6 minutes by private car or taxi, same route, same time — just with a taxi's meter running; there is no direct public transport from the airport to the Üçağız boat jetties, and connecting via Demre is too slow to be practical for a day trip.

Does the driver wait, or do I need to arrange a separate return transfer?

For Kekova the same driver and vehicle stay with you for the day. We drop you at Üçağız harbour, then wait or return at the collection time you set once your boat tour finishes — no separate booking needed.

Where do I meet my driver, and where does the transfer end?

Your driver meets you at the pickup address you enter when booking — your hotel, villa or any address in the region. Arriving on a flight? They meet you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, just past baggage claim. The transfer ends at Üçağız harbour, where your boat tour to the sunken ruins departs and where you'll be collected again afterwards.

Can I request a child seat, and how much luggage fits?

Yes — request a child or booster seat free of charge when booking, stating your child's age. Standard vehicles carry two to four large suitcases depending on the car category; let us know your group size and luggage so we assign the right vehicle for the day.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your trip starts at Antalya Airport, we check your flight before pickup and adjust it to your actual landing time at no extra cost. This matters even more on a Kekova day, since a late start still needs to reach Üçağız before boat operators close for the day.
