About Kekova Batık Kent
Kekova gives its name to an island and also to a coastal area with coves and ancient settlements. The image of the submerged city refers to remains along the shoreline, which can be viewed from authorized excursions. The site should not be presented as a network of streets free for swimming or disembarking.
Stairs, structures and parts of the former occupation relate to the shape of the waterline. Perception depends on sea clarity, light and the vessel's route. Not every departure follows the same sections, so it is advisable to confirm the program before booking.
Üçağız is an embarkation reference, and Demre's coast also has programs. Ask where the boat stops, whether there will be landings at other points and how much time remains for Simena. Respect the bathing and approach restrictions to the remains, which are part of archaeological conservation.
