Kekova is an island off the coast of Kaleköy and Üçağız, near the Demre district of Antalya province. Despite its large area, no one lives on this island. Boats can be reached across from Kaleköy. On the north side, shipwrecks from the ancient city of Dolkisthe, which was destroyed by earthquakes in the second century, are occasionally encountered. Kekova was re-established and developed during the Byzantine period, but its development could not continue due to Arab invasions. Since its protected land. Unfortunately we can not stop here. We only cruise trough.
Kekova Island is in Kekova region and its opposite of Simena Castle. As we mentioned unfortunately there is no swimming here. we only pass by. There will be swimming option in Tersane Bay in the Island or Aquarium Bay
Sunken City is not only known for its gorgeous turquoise sea but also its ancient and mysterious sunken city. Every summer, visitors arrive on boat tours to look out over the water to see the remains of a once flourishing city now completely underwater with only a few remnants on land to speak of its existence.

While approaching Kaleköy by boat, you will see the walls of the castle above. A steep path from the beach leads to the castle. If you want to relax on the way, you can try the famous ice cream.
