Kekova Sound

Kaleköy (Kekova - Simena), Turkey, 2011

The ancient Lycian sunken city of Simena is often referred to as Kekova-Simena. Simena is a popular Lycian site, situated upon one of the most attractive spots of the Turkish coast. The name Kekova is Turkish for plain of thyme and describes the region encompassing the island of Kekova, the villages of Kaleköy and Üçağiz and the three ancient towns of Simena, Teimussa and Tersane.

On the mainland the fishing village of Kaleköy (castle village) stands today, its buildings mingling with ancient and medieval structures, many of which are submerged either partially or completely under the sea.

The only way to reach it is on foot, or by boat from the village of Üçağiz.

Simena is a popular Lycian site, situated upon one of the most attractive spots of the Turkish coast. The name Kekova is Turkish for plain of thyme and describes the region encompassing the island of Kekova, the villages of Kaleköy and Üçağiz and the three ancient towns of Simena, Teimussa and Tersane.

The ancient Lycian sunken city of Simena is often referred to as Kekova-Simena. The city is a charming mix of ancient, medieval and modern history making it interesting as well as beautiful. In ancient times Simena was a small fishing village and was later an outpost of the Knights of Rhodes (formerly of St. John).

The ancient city of Simena was once of two parts - an island and a coastal part of the mainland. On the mainland the charming fishing village of Kaleköy (castle village) stands today, its buildings mingling with ancient and medieval structures. The top of the village is dominated by a well-preserved castle built by the Knights of Rhodes partially upon ancient Lycian foundations. Inside the castle is the smallest amphitheatre of Lycia.

Entry from: Kas, Turkey
Entry Title: Kas a lovely place to rest

Entry:

Kas (in Turkish: eyebrow due to the shape of the cove) was a perfect antidote to our experience in Antalya and only 4 hours by dolmus (mini-bus to us Asians but much more comfortable and way cleaner and better maintained). It is a beautiful little town that began its life as Habesos and later became known as Antiphellos during the Lycian times. It then became a fishing village and has managed to retain its small town charm in spite of some upscale development taking place on both its hillsides where holiday villas are being built. Historically, Kas has some beautiful carved tombs, sarcophagi and an amphitheathre that you are still prominent today. The highlight of the Turkish experience in Kas is the unusual setting of the village and its mosque. Due the mosque's location which allows for sound to reverberate and echo through the hills, the calls to prayer are delivered and heard for miles around. It is haunting and beautiful (and wonderfully read, not off tone and flat!) esp. the evening azans with a setting sun and long twilights in the summer. Experiencing this on the comfortable rooftop of our pansiyon made it all worth it as you're inclined on your Turkish-style sofa beds. Surprisingly, Kas has a mix of both German and British tourists as we learned later on that the two cultures do not holiday in Turkey in the same towns. More on that later in Fethiye. What I liked about it was that we were there before the start of the season in May so it wasn't crowded at all yet. We arrived around 1pm and were met by Suleiman (Sulo for short) who took our luggage over to the pansiyon (Hilal Pansiyon as recommended in the LP 2006). The pansiyon's located on the hillside with a great view of the village and also very close to the mosque! From the pansiyon's rooftop lounge and dining area, we could also the many Lycian tombs remaining that are carved into the hillside cliffs. There was also a sarcophagus on the street in front of the Pansiyon. Bizarre, but once again, reminded me that I'm in a fantastic country with ancient lands and an ancient history! Dropped our bags and went to have lunch...more pides (Turkish pizzas with minced lamb toppings etc) and mezzes washed down with cold Efes beer. Fabulous as usual. After lunch, some of us decided to go shopping while Paul and Sherrin decided to head for the water already. There's a main square area in Kas near the waterfront and we walked up the slope of one of its main shopping streets. This street has some really nice jewellery shops worth browsing in but the highlight for me was this particular shop that sells hamam towels: Papilio-Kas, whose owner and designer of the towels: Ms Sumru Sekeroglu Gizer. 100% Turkish cotton and with a wide selection of colours and designs to choose from, they make a great gift for family and friends especially those who spend a lot of time on the beach. Apparently it's a trend to use hamam towels that are specially designed for the beach as sarong wraps and I can see why. The towels are pretty thin and super absorbent so that means they dry quickly under the hot and Mediterranean weather. There are thicker piles and thinner piles too if you want to re-purpose some for home use. Shopping done, Jo and I headed on over to find the others. But not before I found a ceramic shop (Atelie Anatolia) that was quite nice to explore - some contemporary pieces, including a few that were wheel thrown with a grey glaze and fish motifs. Couldn't stay long and I thought I would try and return later (but never did). Found Sherrin and Paul already lounging on their deck chairs like lizards and looking totally relaxed and chilled out. Talk about chill... we were ...

Holidays in Kas are like Turkish meze -- you get all the best bits of Turkey served up in bite-size pieces. Atmospheric sights, warm hospitality, breathtaking scenery, sandy beaches and starlit nights at waterfront restaurants, all in true Turkish style.

Sounds good? Well, this upmarket, pretty town nestled into a magnificent bay won't disappoint. Once a small fishing village, it's now a classy summer resort comprising cobbled shop-filled lanes, a quaint harbour, exotic markets and endless enticing eateries serving delectable Turkish fare. Put on your walking shoes and you'll also discover ancient cliff tombs, a crumbled amphitheatre and the serious hiking offered by the famous Lycian Way Walk. Other highlights of holidays to Kas include boat trips to Myra and brilliant diving -- don your wetsuit to witness the sunken city of Kekova and amazing underwater life. And when it comes to sun lounging, choose from Kas' wooden sea platforms or grab a dolmus to some stunning local beaches.

Come sundown, Kas holidays keep their sophisticated aura. Most visitors while their evenings at the lively waterfront restaurants and tavernas, sipping on raki or wine under a canopy of stars.

Tempted? Wait till you discover what Thomson has to offer. We've got the pick of self-catering villa holidays to Kas, so you'll enjoy the very best of this delightful resort.

Kaş, Turkey | Travel Vlog 2016 | Road Trip

Next stop on our road trip in Turkey was a beautiful town called Kaş (kar-sh) coming from an afternoon drive from Olympos it would have to be the most stunning part of the Turquoise coast to drive on. With mountain high exposed rock on one side and the wide Mediterranean ocean on the other its worth the drive.

☼ Watch our first video of the 1st stop from our road trip -

✗ Destination Break down
0.00 - Somewhere between Olympus and Kaş
0.07 - Kaş panoramic view, just before you drive down into the town from the east side
0.15 - Büyükcakil beach aka for english speakers they call it Big Pebble Beach
1.30 - Blanca Beach - much further out of the main town of Kaş towards the West, food and drinks are pricey here.
2.21 - Heading out into the Mediterranean ocean on a boat with Discovery Dive
3.16 - Kaputaş beach - 30 min drive along the west coast, I would recommend planning at least half and day or more here.

Sailing to Kekova, Turkey - Sailing Kejstral Adventures S01E21

So many people have recommended the area of Kekova on the southern coast of Turkey, that we just had to make the sail there. We weren’t disappointed; this part of Turkey just keeps on throwing up Gems! Anchored in Sicak Koyu we trek through the ancient ruins of Aperlae before moving on to the delightful hamlet of Ucagiz.
After exploring the town we enjoy time with fellow sailors Lee & Larry before parting ways and heading back along the coast to Nuri Beach, just east of Kas.
We are now almost at the end of our travels this year (2016) but before we winterise in Akbuk look out for episode 22 when we fall upon yet another Turkish Gem in the form of Cold Water Bay.
