Simena Castle and Village

Simena (ancient Kaleköy) is a tiny village accessible only by boat, topped by a small medieval castle with a remarkably intact theatre carved into the rock inside the walls. The castle gives panoramic views over the sunken city, the island, and the surrounding coastline. Lycian sarcophagi stand at the water's edge in the village below — some half-submerged. One of the most photographed spots on the Turkish coast.
