The beautiful bays of Porto Ceneviz and Sazak
Kemer is rich in beautiful coves, the most beautiful of which our guests visit by boat. However, let’s make a correction – the most beautiful coves that can be visited in 4-5 hours during the standard tour. For those who have already experienced the charm of such a holiday and whose soul craves something new, we invite you to
The Genova Bay or Porto Ceneviz is equidistant between the Adrasan and the Cirali (or historical Olympos) and is “closed” on three sides, so that the incredibly beautiful water with all shades of turquoise is very calm. This is probably the reason why it was chosen by the Genoese, who traded extensively with Northern Europe, navigating the waters of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Atlantic Ocean between the 11th and 15th centuries. You have a stunning view of the cliffs on your left and a pine forest on your right. You can also see the remains of a fortress used by the Genoese merchants (there is no info whether they built or inherited it). The cozy location of the bay probably helped them hide from greedy pirates.
Just beyond the Porto Ceneviz there is another beautiful cove with calm waters – the Sazak Bay. Here the sea is friendly, so it is advisable to bring snorkels and flippers – chances are good that you will encounter not only fish, but also large sea turtles!
Another surprise awaits you as you enter the Sazak, a small cove called False Bay. It is the habitat of the Mediterranean SEAL! It is also famous for its black clay, which is believed to be good for the skin.
The time required for a tour will vary from 8 to 11 hours depending on the power of the chosen boat. Although these coves are on the Kemer side, guests from Antalya can also choose this destination, but it will, of course, take a little longer.
As these coves are away from the residential area with its artificial lights, you can see an incredible starry sky there! It is on this destination that you can rent a boat for the day and dream with your loved ones under the starry dome from the side!
