The day begins at 9:00 AM in Kalkan, where you’ll meet your professional jeep driver and guide.

In the afternoon, we’ll visit the ancient city of Xanthos, once the capital of the Lycian Union. These well-preserved ruins are rich in history and mythology, and your guide will share fascinating stories about this UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a memorable stop for history enthusiasts.
Our final destinations are Patara Beach and Kaputaş Beach, two of Turkey’s most iconic coastal spots. Patara, the longest beach in Turkey, offers an ideal opportunity for a swim in the warm turquoise waters. Kaputaş, with its pristine and natural beauty, is a picturesque spot to unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures.
