Kekova

Kekova is a small, uninhabited island located off the coast of Turkey’s Antalya province, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and ancient underwater ruins. The island is part of a protected region and is famous for the sunken city of Simena, which was partially submerged after an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. Visitors can explore the ancient ruins, visible just beneath the water’s surface, by boat or while snorkeling. Alongside the island, the nearby village of Kaleköy offers a stunning view of the area, with a medieval castle perched on a hill. Kekova is a popular destination for boat tours, combining history, natural beauty, and the charm of the Turkish Riviera.
