    Luxurious family time

    I cannot use words to describe how lucky and how happy we feel from this trip. No words are enough; you gotta try it yourself!!!!!! Our boat (EGEMENiM) was owner, the fantastic nice and kind couple, have given us such a great blessing day, even though they could barely communicate with us in English. But you could feel every drop of love and kindness from their eyes and move. The food they served us, so fresh, high quality and genuine that you could NOT get in ANY kinds of gourmet restaurants 😉 trust me! The most tasty genuine Turkish home cooking!

    From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antalya.

    How much does From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre cost?

    +

    Prices start at $716 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antalya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antalya is not rushed.

    Is From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antalya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antalya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antalya and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Antalya: Private Tour to Kekova Island, Myra and Demre start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antalya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Antalya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Antalya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Perge, Aspendos, Side and Waterfall Full Day Tour, Antalya: Perge, Aspendos, Side & Manavgat Waterfalls Tour, Antalya Excursion to Perge, Aspendos, side, Manavgat waterfall. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Antalya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Antalya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
