http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com The Kekova/Simena region is a Specially Protected Area and ancient Simena, dates back to Fourth Century BC, and once contained two parts - an island and part of the mainland. Our boat, the Kordon, motors on to the fishing village of Kalekoy and we begin to climb the well maintained steps and staircases to the castle. This well-preserved castle was built by the Knights of Rhodes, partly on ancient Lycian foundations. Inside the castle is the smallest theater in Lycia which held seating for 300 people. At the eastern end of the village, a Lycian necropolis has a cluster of some very nice sarcophagi overlooking the sea and surrounded by ancient olive trees. Looking down from the castle, there is a great view of one sarcophagus half submerged in the water. The entire day cruise is both fun and informative. No wonder the parking lot back in Ucagiz was crammed with large and small tour buses! Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
