KaleKoy

Overlooking the inner sea of Kekova Roads is the castle of ancient Simena, now KaleKoy. It was a settlement from at least 500BC, but I'm sure much earlier.

The Crusader castle seems to have been built on an old Lycian stronghold as a Lycian rock tomb is incongruously peeping out below some battlements.

The theatre is tiny, but the views from it are magnificent. Dayboats drop sightseers all day, but by the end of the afternoon we had the castle to ourselves.
