Its story
Kekova, called Dolichiste in Lycian and in antiquity, is an uninhabited rocky island of about 4.5 km². Along its northern shore, the remains of ancient buildings submerged by earthquakes can be viewed from a boat. After the Italian occupation the island's ownership was disputed, and it was left to Turkey by an agreement in 1932. Boats depart from Üçağız.
