About this attraction

Kekova Sunken City

Kekova is the small island sheltering the half-sunken ruins of Dolichiste — a Lycian harbour-city that sank after a 2nd-century earthquake.

Opening hours
Boat tours run 09:00-18:00 daily April–October.
Entry fee
Boat tour from €25 per person (Üçağız) or €40 (Demre).
