Kaleköy (Simena): a natural paradise in the Demre district of Antalya
Kaleköy is a paradise on earth with its caretta carettas, magnificent nature, sarcophagi inherited from Lycian civilization and Simena Castle. This unique spot is located in the village of Üçağız, in the Demre district of Antalya.
Kaleköy, also called the Ancient City of Simena, is a place where the trinity of history, sea and nature is uniquely integrated.
The inability to provide access by road makes Kaleköy special. A magnificent Lycian sarcophagus located right in the middle of the sea will meet you in Kaleköy, which you can reach by a small boat that you will rent.
A MUST SEE ADDRESS ON BLUE CRUISE
One of the must-have addresses of blue cruises leaving the Mediterranean is Kaleköy. The view of the castle, which you will climb with stone stairs, is fantastic.
And on the right side you will be struck by a necropolis decorated with solid sarcophagi.
4 HOUSE HOSTELS IN THE VILLAGE
Construction is absolutely not allowed in Kaleköy, which has been declared a natural site. There are 4 house hostels in the village. But in order to find a place, you need to make a reservation months in advance. Kaleköy, the address of silence, tranquility and peace, is a great address for those who want to be alone with nature and history, to read books. (21 May 2022 /25 July 2023)
