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.

Kekova transfer — frequently asked questions

Clear answers on timing, pricing, and booking flexibility.

Tap a question to view details.

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.

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.
