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 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.

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...
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.

Lovely streets with flowers and great views invite you to take pictures and to relax.
