Western coast cruise vs Kekova — east or west from Kaş?
Side-by-side comparison of two popular Kaş boat trips, with duration, price, what's included and who each one suits best.
Quick answer
Most boats head east to Kekova; one option turns west toward the Blue Cave and Kaputaş for the most dramatic cliff-and-coves scenery of the whole Turquoise Coast. Both are full days, both start in Kaş Harbour, both end with a sun-warm deck and a swim. The choice is between a sunken Lycian city in the east or postcard cliffs and Kalkan town in the west.

Best for
Travellers who've already done Kekova or want the more scenic, less crowded direction — long Çukurbağ cliffs, Kaputaş Beach swim, the chance to lunch in Kalkan harbour.
First trip to Kaş: Kekova every time — it's the headline. Second visit, photography focus, or already done Kekova on a previous holiday: the western coast cruise is the more dramatic landscape and the prettier set of photos.
