Home for the week

With steps leading down to a private beach, and just a 10 minute walk into bustling Kas town, the Aqua Princess is an ideal launch pad for our week of Turkish swimming adventures.

No open-water experience needed - just pool confidence and a sense of adventure. This could be the trip that starts a lifelong love of open water swimming.

Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival & acclimatisation

Once you arrive at the hotel after your transfer, the guides will introduce themselves and show you to your rooms - leaving time to settle in before our welcome meeting and briefing. We will head down to the Hotel Sea Lido for our first dip as a group and a chance to get used to the water in a safe environment before we venture out further afield.

Day 2

Cinar Beach and pod swimming

This morning we will walk to Cinar Beach where we will swim as a pod with some 'pod swimming' tips from the guides, complete some video analysis for anyone looking to improve their stroke before enjoying lunch in a local cafe. After lunch, we will venture beyond the swim zone and complete our first coastal swim. In the evening, we will enjoy dinner on the terrace with a chance to get to know each other a little better!

Day 3

Sail to Limanza Bay.

Today we meet our lovely local boat pilot for the week, Ufuk - who will be looking after us along with his wife and showing us some of the best swimming this area has to offer. Jump on board the gulet and swing your feet over the side as the boat sails towards our first adventure swim spot in Limanza Bay. keep a look out for the ancient Lycian burial chambers hewn into the rocks that overlook the bay. In the afternoon, we will make our first inter island crossing before returning to the hotel for showers and a swimming themed quiz.
