Kemer is the area's largest resort town and its busiest boat tour hub. Unlike the calm tours from Olympos and Çıralı, Kemer boats are mostly about fun: many are pirate-ship themed, with music, games and foam parties. If you are staying in or around Kemer (Tekirova, Çamyuva, Kiriş), this is the most practical option.

Route and stops

Boats leave Kemer harbour around 10:00 and return around 15:30, with 30–45 minute swim stops:

  • Phaselis Bay: Usually the longest stop (about an hour). The boat anchors at one of the harbours of ancient Phaselis; you can go ashore to explore the ruins. The site's entrance fee is not included in the tour price.
  • Paradise Bay (Cennet Koyu): A swim stop where lunch is served.
  • Moonlight Bay (Ayışığı Koyu): The last swim of the day, known for its clear water.

Who is it for?

A fun day for anyone who enjoys music, entertainment and a lively boat, and for families with children. If you are looking for quiet coves, the Çıralı–Olympos or Adrasan tours will suit you better. Pirate boats are large and busy, so board early if you want to choose your seat.

Note for visitors staying in Olympos

Kemer is roughly 40 minutes to an hour by road from Olympos and Çıralı. If you are staying there, consider the tours departing from Çıralı rather than travelling to Kemer just for a boat trip; Phaselis is easy to visit separately by road.
