Kekova Island

Turkey self-driving niche attractions, lost underwater city KEKOVA ⛰ [Attraction Guide] 📍 Detailed address: Kekova, 07570 Kekova Adas /Demre/Antalya, Turkey 🚗 Traffic guide: Self-driving from Kash to Antalya, directly locate kekova, or take a bus from Kash to reach. 🕙 Opening hours: Since you have to take a boat, it is recommended to go before sunset after 8 am. 💰 Ticket price: 150 lira for our 4-person boat, including watching the underwater city, upper simila island, snorkeling. 10 lira per person on the Roman castle, museum card is available. 🌟 Highlights: The most surprising day for self-driving Turkey, which was once part of the mainland, was separated from the mainland by an earthquake thousands of years ago. Many buildings also sank into the sea due to the earthquake, and became the underwater city. It is also the site of the Likia people. The remains of houses, bathrooms, and doors to the church are clearly visible. The remains of the Roman castle on the island of Simela next to it. ❤️ There were basically no tourists when we went. There were not many Middle Eastern characteristics, but there were traces of European architecture. The blue sea water of the Mediterranean made the underwater city more clear and mysterious. At sunset, there were people around the island leisurely kayaking to enjoy this time outside the world. 📌 Small Tips: 1. Self-driving cars can drive directly to the pier, and there may be boatmen all the way to ask if you want to take the boat. You can bargain properly and confirm that the price of the whole boat is not the price of a single person. 2. Underwater city can only be watched on the boat, not in the water, and the snorkeling point is close to Simela Island.

The sunken city on the shore of the Mediterranean, Kekova, was completed in the 4th century BC, destroyed by the earthquake in the 2nd century AD, rebuilt during the Byzantine Empire and flooded, and finally abandoned by the Ottoman Empire, with few people interested. Today, the entire city is quietly immersed in the Mediterranean water, palaces, ramp, piers, corridors, stones, debris... When the boat slowly crossed the sea, thousands of years later, people lie on the glass boat, surprised to distinguish the great shores of the time. The sun mixed the water with the residue and the sense of history, and changed. Poseidon said, I want this land, the sea will engulf the city. Mankind has retired respectfully in the era of worship.
