Kekova, Kas Overview
Kekova, or Caravola, is an island near Demre known for its ancient and mysterious sunken city. The region covers half-submerged remains of a sunken Lycian town and some remains from the Byzantine era. Swimming, snorkelling, diving, and jet-ski rides are forbidden here. However, you can board chartered boats to enjoy a good view of the ruins, which are clearly visible only a few metres below the clear waters.
On its northern side of Kekova Island are the partly sunken ruins of a dilapidated ancient town, including a shipyard, foundations of public buildings, houses, and a couple of amphorae. While enjoying a boat ride, you will also spot a few Lycian tombs above the shoreline, the remains of an early church, and a stone staircase descending into the waters. Some boats stop at a cave where you see goats and some pyramids of wood during the journey.
