More Information


Kekova - (Dolchiste -Sunken City)

Kekova, also known as Caravola (Greek: Dolichiste), is a small, uninhabited Turkish island located near the town of Demre in Antalya province. With an area of 4.5 square kilometers, the island lies opposite the villages of Kaleköy (ancient Simena) and Üçagiz (ancient Teimioussa). Historically significant, Kekova is home to the partly submerged ruins of the ancient town of Dolchiste, which was devastated by an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. The town was later rebuilt during the Byzantine era but eventually abandoned due to Arab raids.

The island and surrounding region have a rich cultural and natural heritage. Notable historical sites include the Tersane Bay, the location of ancient Xera’s dockyard, and the remnants of a Byzantine church. In 1990, the Turkish Ministry of Environment declared Kekova a specially protected area, placing restrictions on diving and swimming to preserve its underwater ruins.

The wider Kekova region, encompassing 260 square kilometers, includes not only the island but also the villages of Kaleköy and Üçagiz, along with four ancient Lycian towns—Simena, Aperlae, Dolchiste, and Teimioussa. Kaleköy, accessible only by sea, offers visitors a glimpse into the past with its fortress and submerged ruins, while Üçagiz, meaning “three mouths,” reflects its unique geography with three exits to the open sea.
