Kekova Sunken City: Kekova boat tour stop
Kekova The Sunken City constitutes the cultural part of the route with its historical structures whose traces can be seen on the waterfront and under water. On our Kekova boat tour, we see this coast after the Aquarium and continue to Kaleköy.
Read the coastal structures from the sea
Stairs, traces of buildings and remains of old pier can be seen on the shore of Kekova Island facing Simena. These traces, intertwined with the waterline, help understand the history of the region from the boat.
Instead of trying to fit every detail into a single shot, follow the coast: the stonework and building lines emerging at different points are the main attraction of the visit.
The Sunken City is not a swimming stop
Swimming is not allowed around archaeological ruins. Consider this cultural transition separately with the swimming parts of the tour and follow the captain’s instructions. You can contribute to the preservation of the region by observing from the sea without touching the ruins.
Preparation for photography
Keep your phone or camera within reach; Using a strap or protective case makes your work easier while the boat is in motion. Do not expect the same visibility every day as light and reflections on the water surface may vary.
Swimming and history are different parts of the same day
In our daily tour, after lunch and swimming at the Aquarium, the Sunken City and then Kaleköy are planned. In this way, those who want to see the historical coast and those who want to spend time at the sea can meet in the same daily program.
