Hidden along the Turkish coast, far from the crowds of popular tourist destinations, lies a secret gem: Kekova Island. Beneath the shimmering waves rests the sunken city of Simena, a fascinating archaeological treasure of Turkey. Despite its stunning location off the coast of Demre, the charming village of Üçağız has fortunately been spared from mass tourism – and that's something we love! From the picturesque village of Üçağız, we took a wooden boat with Ali as our captain. Later, we literally and figuratively dived into its rich history!
In this article (written in Dutch), we share our travel story about our boat trip to Kekova Island and the sunken city.
