Overview
Departing from Kızkalesi beach, this trip passes the Maiden's Castle, which stands on an islet a few hundred metres offshore, and heads west along the Narlıkuyu and Susanoğlu coast. The clear, shallow waters of Akkum, Narlıkuyu and Kızlar Hamamı coves are used for swimming breaks, and after Yapraklı Cove lunch is served near Susanoğlu. It is a compact way to see from the sea the stretch of coast known for the Heaven and Hell sinkholes. The castle and the ruins of ancient Korykos are passed again on the way back.
