Kas, Turkey

For the next few days we were following the Mediterranean Coastline back to the west of Turkey. The Kekova area was an amazing place for the coastal scenery as well as the well preserved archaeological sites due to the fact they are not easily accessible. A pleasant excursion by boat was the best way to see the ruins on the northern coast of Kekova island, some of the old houses were completely submerged due to earthquakes during the Byzantine period. By boat, we go round the island, where we could see numerous remains down to 2 meters deep, in the bluish light on the seabed.

We then walked up to the Simena castle, which rewarded us with a 360 degree view, including numerous rock tombs. Just to cap this great day off we
took a stroll on the Tersane Island.

Afterwards we drove to Kas and our Hotel for the night. The hotel was located with a superb seafront view out over the Mediterranean Sea. It was a magical end to a glorious day.Read more
