You will be spellbound by Antalya province’s Kekova, a small and uninhabited rocky island accessible only by boat with picture-perfect views. It’s heaven on earth, a spot where nature and history blend along the numerous bays surrounding the turquoise sea. Kekova is a must-stop island that you can reach by boat from Üçağız. On a short trip you can see an ancient castle (Kaleköy) on the island and discover the ancient ruins of a city. Swimming is not allowed around the sunken ruins of Kekova Island, which is an archaeological site. Church ruins are visible at Tersane Bay near the island and are accessible by boat – in this area, you can also swim.
Another well-known bay in the region is Akvaryum Bay with crystal clear waters of a unique color. The bay can be reached only by boat. Çamlık Bay is another famous bay in the area.
