Frequently Asked Questions
The Sunken City of Kekova is an ancient Lycian settlement from around the 2nd century BCE. It was partially submerged due to natural geological changes and earthquakes that affected the Mediterranean coast. The crystal-clear waters of Kekova allow kayakers to see the underwater ruins, including tombs, houses, and ceremonial structures, making it a unique archaeological experience accessible only by water.
