Enjoy Turkey Tours

This excursion takes us through the wild romantic Taurus Mountains and the most charming coastal region of the Turkish Riviera. From the ancient harbour Andriake we start our boat trip to the sunk city Kekova, the ruins of which can well be made out in the crystal- clear water. Opposite on a peninsula lies the ancient city Simena with its small castle. The most famous pilgrim place of Christianity is the city of the “St. Nicolas”. The church dating back to the 5th century AD is at least as attractive as the much older rock graves of Myra from the 5th century BC as well as the amphitheatre.
