Pack your bathing-suit and journey south and west along the Mediterranean shore to Demre (Myra), where you will embark for a cruise to Kekova Island, site of the ancient city of Simena. Some of its Byzantine-era ruins are on the Island, others are submerged (Atlantis like) beneath the clear Mediterranean waters. Gaze through the crystal clear sky blue water down at the Sunken city now populated by marine nature. Since it is not permitted to dive on the city itself, you can swim and snorkel in the area of Ucagiz instead. Back on land you view the fertile river delta covered with orchards and greenhouses. In Myra, you will see Myra's ancient rock-hewn cliff tombs and Roman theater. Myra is famous as the seat of a 4th century Byzantine bishop named Nicholas who, sainted for charitable works, was changed by myth and legend into Santa Claus/Father Christmas. You will visit the church dedicated to him and see where he was buried.

The journey passes the most spectacular scenery, driving west and following the sea road for most of the route, passing through Kumluca where there is a short rest stop, then moving on to Finike and Kas.

In a beautiful setting, the beach is situated at a distance of 20km from Kaş and 7km from Kalkan, at a point where an extremely narrow valley towered by steep cliffs and forests joins the sea shore in the cove of the same name as the beach (Kaputaş).

Whether it's lying back and enjoying the sun, building sand castles with the kids or reading a book, this day is one for relaxation and enjoying the Mediterranean for a refreshing swim as well as enjoying breath-taking scenery along the way. There are toilet facilities, showers, a cafe-bar and changing huts at the beach which is reached by 180 steps descending from the road so this tour may not be suitable for those with limited mobility or infants due to the travel time.
