Swim with giant turtles
A comfortable picked us up at a meeting point. With a large boat we visited beautiful places and experienced swimming with giant turtles caretta caretta. Only negative point is that we were always accompanied by another bigger boat with a lot of very noisy passengers.

From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fethiye.
How much does From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fethiye usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Fethiye is not rushed.
Is From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fethiye, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova?
+
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 Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova?
+
Around 0 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 Fethiye 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 Fethiye and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova 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 Fethiye 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 Fethiye?
+
On Outty we rank every Fethiye experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oludeniz Paragliding Fethiye Turkey, Additional Features, Paragliding Oludeniz With Transfer - Fethiye, Turkey, 2 people buggy safari half day beach and forest drive. 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 Fethiye?
+
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 Fethiye?
+
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.
What is included in From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova?
+
Included: Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance fee of Simena Castle: 4 euro; and The Ancient City of Myra entrance fee (9 euro). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova?
+
Pick-up times may vary depending on the season. We will notify you of the pick-up time one day before the tour via WhatsApp or email. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is From Olympos: Day Trip to Demre, Myra and Kekova offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
