About Simena Kalesi ve Kaleköy
Simena is related to the village of Kaleköy and to a castle placed high on the slope, facing the Kekova area. The excursion combines coastal access, the settlement's streets and a climb to the enclosure. The view over the water helps to understand the position of the ancient settlement.
The remains and the castle structures should be known for the areas open to the public. There are steps and uneven terrain, so disembarking at the shore does not mark the end of the movement. The program can be shorter for those who prefer to stay in the village without making the full climb.
The visit is usually combined with boat trips, but the stop time needs to be sufficient for the walk and return to the pier. Confirm the ticket and included spaces before leaving the shore. Wear sturdy footwear and avoid treating the climb as a few-minute interval.
