ABANDONED - Sunken City Kekova Turkey (Atlantis ?) Glass Bottom Boat Trip
#ABANDONED - Sunken City Kekova Turkey (Alantis ?) Glass Bottom Boat Trip, #urbex #atlantis. Kekova, also named Caravola (Lycian: Dolichiste), is a small Turkish island near Demre (Demre is the Lycian town of Myra) district of Antalya province which faces the villages of Kaleköy (ancient Simena) and Üçağız (ancient Teimioussa). Kekova has an area of 4.5 km2 (2 sq mi) and is uninhabited.
After the Italian occupation of Kastelorizo, Kekova — which at that time was temporarily inhabited during summer because of wood harvest — was disputed between Italy and Turkey. The 1932 Convention between Italy and Turkey assigned it to Turkey.
On its northern side there are the partly sunken ruins of Dolchiste/Dolikisthe, an ancient town which was destroyed by an earthquake during the 2nd century. Rebuilt and still flourishing during the Byzantine Empire period, it was finally abandoned because of Arab incursions. Tersane (meaning dockyard, as its bay was the site of an ancient city Xera and dockyard, with the ruins of a Byzantine church) is at the northwest of the island.
The Kekova region was declared a specially protected area on 18 January 1990 by Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forest. All kinds of diving and swimming were prohibited and subject to special permits from governmental offices. In later years the prohibition has been lifted except for the part where the sunken city is.
The Kekova region is 260 km2 (100 sq mi) and encompasses the island of Kekova, the villages of Kaleköy and Üçağız and the four ancient towns of Simena, Aperlae, Dolchiste and Teimioussa.
Kaleköy (locally just Kale) (ancient Simena) is a Lycian site on the Turkish coast. It is a small village with the partly sunken ruins of Aperlae[1] and a castle. Access to the village is possible only by sea.
Üçağız (ancient name, Teimioussa) is a village one km from Kaleköy, north of a small bay by the same name, with the ruins of Teimioussa to the east. The name Üçağız means three mouths, referring to the three exits to open sea.

The exciting alternative to explore the famous Kekova region. At your own pace, paddle over the Sunken City and avoid the tourist rush hour. Now an island, Kekova was once joined to the mainland but it suffered a series of earthquakes and these geological influences rendered it a city six metres below the sea. The area is off-limits to swimmers and divers so kayaking is the closest you can get to the underwater foundations, walls and mosaics dating back 2000 years. We often disembark at the village of Simena, inaccessible by road and surmounted by a castle with brilliant 360° views.
Deniz kanosu, Kekova batık şehrini keşfetmek için en ideal sportif aktivitedir. Her türlü tatil telaşından uzak, Akdeniz'in berrak sularında 2000 yıl önce oluşan büyük bir depremden etkilenerek suyun altına gömülmüş ve zamanın aşımına uğramadan günümüze kadar gelen bu mirasın içinde kürek çekerek tatilinize ayrı bir keyif katın! Mola vermek için durduğumuz Simena ve 2000 yıllık kalesi muhteşem manzarasıyla Akdeniz'de bize unutulmaz bir keyif yaşattırır. Bu aktiviteyi 15 sene önce ilk defa Türkiye'de başlatmaktan gurur duyuyoruz.
Cruising in the Kekova region of Turkey Part 1
An touristy but enjoyable cruise in the Kekova region was scheduled today after the
Explore Worldwide hiked to the hamlet and ancient port of Aperlae. Steve and myself, along with three others, decided to forego the hike portion and just enjoy the sunny and beautiful day by cruising to Aperlae where their hike would end.
The group bus drove us to the little village of Ucagiz where all tourist boats set off on day cruises around this area. We boarded the Kordon, and motored off to Aperlae, picked up the hot and sweaty group and the cruise to the Sunken City and Simena was officially underway...
#Kekova - #Antalya (Boat Trip) - Turkey - 4K Ultra HD 2160p
Kekova Island and the town of Kale (ancient Simena) to the west of Antalya make an idyllic daytrip for the traveler looking for a combination of sunshine, swimming and fascinating historic ruins. Many boats run trips from Kas but the journey is much shorter from Cayagzi, the harbor of Demre. Along the stony coastline the boats may stop at a cave, or you can see the occasional goat or the smoldering pyramids of wood used by peasants to make charcoal, the product may sit in plastic sacks at the water's edge, waiting to be taken away. Along the edge of the island facing the mainland lie the fascinating half-submerged remains of a Lycian sunken city, and some remains also from the Byzantine times. Signs warn against skin-diving, so you can not swim here because many visitors in the past took a piece of ancient relics with them as a souvenir. The boatman will allow the passengers on board off for a swim further to the west, where the remains of a Byzantine chapel stand on the beach and where further sunken remains can be explored at ease by the swimmer with mask and snorkel. In case you arrive Kekova by car, you can hire one of the small boats at Ucagiz village to visit the sunken city and also Simena. A fascinating Lycian necropolis, with chest-type tombs spread out along the coastline, lies at Teimiussa, near the present-day Ucagiz on the mainland across from Kekova. This can also be reached by track from the main road between Kas and Demre, where it is signposted. The boat-tripper may be content with a sea-born view and pass to Kale, the ancient Simena, which sits nearby below the crenellated ramparts of an earlier hilltop Roman castle. Today Kekova is a very popular anchorage for sailors who enjoy the history together with the nature. This is a regular stop for gulet and charter boats.

Sunken City of Kekova
Lying across from the Simena peninsula, Kekova Island was sunk under water due to several earthquakes during Lycian era (2nd cent. AD),and later resettled and flourished under Byzantine reign. However, Arabian invasions forced Byzantines to desert the island.
In 1990, Kekova Island was declared a protected area by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and swimming at of the sunken city territory was forbidden. However, the Byzantine church ruins are visible in Tersane Bay and can be accessed only by boat, near Kekova Island and you can both swim and visit the ruins on the shore. Again, Akvaryum Bay (named after its crystal clear waters) in Kekova is perfect for swimming and again can be accessed only by boat. For closer study of the of the historical sunken city, Kekova boat rentals are popular.

boattripturkey.com teknedeseyahat.com We won't decide on a destination until that morning, when we can consider what would be the best island for the day. We frequently snorkel with the group, providing a guided tour with fish and coral identification. We love to get someone who is a bit afraid to relax and enjoy this spectacular experience, and as such, is great for first time snorkelers. Our boat has a permanent bimini for shade, and a large awning, if required, for additional shade at anchor.
