Kekova Island

Why go

Stone stairs, house traces and former waterfront structures make the submerged settlement visible from a boat. Across the water, Kaleköy and its castle give the scene a landward counterpart. The appeal lies in reading the old coastline from the sea, rather than expecting a conventional walk through ruins on the island.

What to look for

• Partly submerged stone stairs mark the ancient shoreline.
• House and pier remains can be seen along the island's north side.
• Kaleköy and Simena Castle face the island across the water.

Useful to know

• Choose a boat route that explicitly passes the northern shore remains.
• Confirm current protected-zone and swimming rules with the operator or authority.
• Use the departure point for navigation; the old island coordinate is unsuitable for routing.
