Seats fill up quickly in high season, so it is worth booking in advance. This is how it works:
Step-by-step instructions for the booking form: How to book and pay on the bus.
A half-day trip close to Kemer. From the entrance, a trail of about 2 km leads past rocks and mountain pools to the narrow part of the gorge, and you have about 3 hours of free time in the canyon. Entry to the canyon is included in the price. If you want to go further into the gorge, you can pay on the spot for a boat ride (€30) or for body rafting (€25), which means floating with the current in special gear, without a boat. Both run only if the weather and the water level allow it.
A traditional hammam programme: a scrub with a kese mitt, a foam massage, an oil massage and a face mask. You spend about 1.5–2 hours at the hammam, and the whole trip, transfers included, takes 2.5–3 hours. The staff speak English.
The Megastar yacht sails from Kemer marina and stops three times for a swim: in Phaselis Bay beside the ancient city, in Alacasu Bay and in Aquarium Bay near Kiriş. Lunch on board is included, and drinks are paid for separately. After lunch there is music and a foam party on deck.
The basic rafting day, without Tazi Canyon. A cabrio safari in open-top buses takes you through Köprülü Canyon to the start point, crossing the Roman Oluk Bridge, which is about 1,900 years old. Then come 14 km of rafting on the Köprüçay River and a zipline over the water, both included in the price. There are no difficult rapids on the route, and each raft takes 8–10 people with an instructor, so the trip suits first-timers and families with children aged 6 and over.
The other rafting days from Kemer start from the same rafting centre on the Köprüçay:
The yacht leaves Adrasan port at around 10:00 and stops twice for a swim on different sides of the uninhabited island, often called the “Turkish Maldives”. The route continues to the Lovers’ Cave, followed by lunch on board and one more swim in a bay at Adrasan.
A trip on a wooden gulet from Adrasan to three bays: Akseki, Sazak and Ceneviz. They are hard to reach by land, so they are quieter than Suluada. Lunch on board is included, and in Ceneviz Bay, if conditions allow, you can put the natural black clay on your skin as a mask.
Two dives of 15–20 minutes each, to a depth of 5–8 metres, in the bays off Kiriş. You do not need any experience: before the dive the instructor shows you how to breathe and how to communicate with hand signals, and stays beside you the whole time underwater. Between the dives there is time for a swim and lunch on the yacht.
This programme has no rafting. An open-top safari bus takes you to the rim of Tazi Canyon, then on to the ruins of ancient Selge with its theatre and to the natural rock formations of Adam Kayalar, and the day ends with lunch by the Köprüçay River. There is no guide on this trip: an instructor meets the group at the Köprüçay River and runs the day.
Everything in the 4 in 1 version, plus the zipline. First you look down on the Köprüçay River from the rim of Tazi Canyon, a gorge about 4 km long with cliffs rising more than 200 metres. Then you raft 14 km down the same river and finish by flying over it on the zipline, which children aged 6–12 ride too.
A morning ride on the Olympos cable car, with pickup at about 09:00–10:00, to the summit at 2,365 metres. The cabin takes about 10 minutes to reach the top, and you have about 1.5 hours up there. It is usually 10–12 degrees cooler than by the sea, so a light jumper is useful even in summer. The same ride after lunch, with pickup at about 13:00–14:30, is the Tahtali cable car afternoon trip from Kemer, and the evening version with dinner at the summit is the Tahtali sunset tour with dinner from Kemer.
An evening trip by jeep: free time by the sea at Olympos, a walk up to the Yanartaş flames and dinner at Ulupınar, at tables over the stream. Dinner is included in the price. Entry to the Chimaera flames (€10) and to ancient Olympos (the equivalent of €10, payable only in Turkish lira) is optional and paid on the spot. If you would rather not climb to the flames, you can wait for the group by the ticket office.
The Lower Düden Waterfall, which drops about 45 metres from a cliff straight into the sea, the Upper Düden Waterfall with caves behind the falling water, and free time in Kaleiçi, the old town, by Hadrian’s Gate, the Clock Tower and the old harbour. Lunch is included. A boat trip along the coast (about 45–50 minutes) can be added for $10 when you book; the price in the table does not include it.
A full day at The Land of Legends theme park in Belek, with about 6–6.5 hours for water slides, rides and the children’s areas: Nickelodeon Land, themed around SpongeBob and PAW Patrol, and Masha and the Bear. The entrance ticket and the park’s dolphin show are included, and lunch is paid for separately. For an evening visit there is a separate trip, The Land of Legends evening show from Kemer.
The water park is in Kiriş, about 7 km from the centre of Kemer. It has 17 slides for adults, a children’s area with 9 slides and a wave pool, and you spend about 6 hours there. The price includes the entrance ticket, lunch, a locker and the mermaid show.
The Church of St Nicholas in Demre, then the Roman theatre and the Lycian tombs cut into the cliff at Myra. After lunch, a boat trip takes you to the sunken city off Kekova Island: in clear weather you can see the ruins through glass portholes built into the tables on board. Lunch is included. The tickets for the church ($23) and Myra ($17) are not in the price and are bought on the spot.
This tour includes a night in Cappadocia. You leave your hotel during the night, at about 01:00–03:00, and are back on the evening of the second day, at about 19:30–20:30; the drive takes about 8 hours each way, not counting stops. The programme includes an underground city, a rock-cut church with frescoes, the views over Uçhisar and Göreme, Love Valley and Imagination Valley. The price includes the entrance tickets to the underground city and the church and the night at the Alp Hotel Cappadocia with dinner and breakfast; the two lunches ($17 each) are paid separately. A hot air balloon flight costs extra, usually €100–300, and goes ahead only if the weather allows; if it is cancelled, the money for the flight is refunded.
Pickup is at about 04:00–05:00, and you are back at your hotel at about 19:30–20:30. The day covers the white travertine terraces, which you walk across barefoot, and the ancient city of Hierapolis with its Roman theatre and necropolis. The entrance ticket and lunch are included, and you have about 3 hours of free time at Pamukkale. A swim in Cleopatra’s Pool is optional and costs €15, $15 or 650 Turkish lira on the spot. Two other ways to see Pamukkale: the Lake Salda and Pamukkale day trip from Kemer and the Hot-air balloon flight over Pamukkale from Kemer.
Kemer lies between the Taurus Mountains and the sea, with ancient cities on the shore, mountain canyons and the summit of Tahtali all within reach.
An ancient city in a pine forest between Kemer and Tekirova, with three bays, a paved main street, an aqueduct and a theatre close to the water. The Yacht trip in Kemer stops in Phaselis Bay for a swim; a visit to the ruins is not part of the programme.
The 2,365-metre summit above Kemer, reached by cable car. Tandem paragliding flights also start from here and land on the beach at Tekirova, with the cable car ride included in the price. A flight from a lower start, at about 1,000 metres on Mount Adrasan, landing on Adrasan beach, is the Paragliding in Adrasan from Kemer.
A hillside above Çıralı where natural gas seeps out between the rocks and burns. The flames have been alight for thousands of years and are linked to the myth of the monster Chimaera from Homer’s “Iliad”. A stone path with steps leads up to them, a climb of moderate difficulty; the Chimaera flames and Olympos by jeep from Kemer arrives here at dusk.
A valley by mountain springs, known for its trout farms, where restaurant tables stand by the water or on wooden platforms over the stream. The Chimaera evening trip ends here with dinner.
The ruins of ancient Olympos stand in woodland right by the sea. There is a charge to enter the ancient city, but you do not need a ticket for the beach in front of it. Next to it runs the protected beach of Çıralı, where loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) come ashore to lay their eggs in summer.
A gorge in the mountains above Kemer, visited on the Jeep safari in Kemer: cliffs, greenery and cool water for a swim at the end of the route. On the way there is a viewpoint at about 1,800 metres and an old plane tree which, according to local people, is about 3,000 years old.
A child who travels free does not get a seat of their own on the bus and sits on an adult’s lap. The age up to which children travel free depends on the excursion and is shown on its page.
These are the excursions from Kemer that families with kids choose most often:
