Kekova Island

Giving its name to the whole area, this long island stretches four miles before Kalekoy (Simena) and is filled with historical ruins. At the southwestern end of the island is Tersane Bay where yachts may approach. On the southern side of the bay are traces of sunken shops whose rooms are still discernible today. Leaving the jetty I one will be able to discern a Byzantine church. Though the place is full of ruins, no excavations have been carried out on this island so little is known about its history.

On the landward side of Kekova Island you can see the ruins of a sunken city. Following the shore we see that half of the houses are submerged with stairways descending into the water. The foundations of some of these buildings and houses can also be seen in the sea.
