Time Out says

What is it? Situated just opposite Kaleköy, the island of Kekova is home to the sunken ruins of what once was the ancient Lycian village of Dolichiste.

Why go? Dolichiste, which was submerged after an earthquake in the 2nd century, is a fascinating piece of history buried beneath the crystal clear waters of the Med. Hop aboard a tour boat from Kaş harbour to the shores of Kekova Island where you’ll find this unique archeological wonder, parts of which remain above water. As swimming is prohibited in this area, a guided kayak tour would be the way to go for those seeking a more intimate exploration of the ancient ruins.
