The main points you should definitely see during your visit are as follows:
1. Simena Castle (Kaleköy Castle)
Located at the summit of the region, this castle bears architectural traces of the Byzantine period and contains walls from ancient times. The mesmerising view of Kekova Island can be seen from the hill.
2. Lycian Rock Tombs
Near Simena, especially on the hills near the coast, Lycian tombs carved into the rocks attract attention. These tombs usually belong to families and attract attention with their inscriptions and symbols in the Lycian language.
3. Sunken City (Opposite Kekova Island)
Although it does not belong to Simena, the Sunken City on Kekova Island, located opposite, is one of the must-see places. This settlement, which was flooded by an earthquake in the 2nd century BC, can be visited by boats or canoe tours.
4. Ancient Sarcophagi
The sarcophagus rising in the water by the sea has become the symbol of Simena. This sarcophagus is highly valuable archaeologically and generally represents the burial rituals of Lycia.
