Next, we will head to Hidayet Bay; here, there will be optional Scuba Diving available. This is Turkey's best diving region. We will visit Kas tonight for a night out and to see the city. Kas has a rich history dating back to the Lycian era; it’s a beautiful ancient village full of cafes, souvenir shops, and good nightlife.

The bay spans 86,000 sqm and is reputedly home to over 100 species of butterflies. Butterfly Valley Cove is surrounded by cliffs reaching 350m high, with a waterfall pouring down the back canyon wall. After Butterfly Valley, we will take a bus to Gemiler Beach, where we will continue our journey to Kayakoy Village, also known as the Ghost Town.
