Kekova Island
The antique town Kekova, which is situated partially direct under the sea-surface and thats why also called "sunken city", can explore best by boat starting from Ücagiz.

Simena
From inscriptions that have been found, we know that the history of the ancient city of Simena goes back to the 4th century B.C. If we go ashore via the jetty next to the sarcophagus on the seashore and climb the hill behind the houses, we reach the castle of Simena. This castle was used during the Middle Ages by the Byzantines. Looking from the castle towards Üçagiz it becomes clear what a beautiful and safe natural harbour this really is, a landlocked bay surrounded by green hills.

Myra/ Kale/ Demre
Kale is the official name of Demre, which in the ancient world was called Myra and in the 5th century became the capital of Lycia.
Myra features some of the most impressive and well preserved Lycian monuments in the country. These include an excellent collection of rock tombs and an imposing 2nd century theatre.The lycian rock tombs with the nice reliefs are already seen from far away.
In the early Middle Ages was the Basilica of the holy Nicolaus, the seat of the bishop of Myra, a famous destination of pilgrims. Worth seeing is the Nicolaus-church with its small garden.

Kalkan
The about 30 km long coaststreet between Kas and Kalkan is one of the most beautiful of this land. The small fishermans village Kalkan preserved its originally charm until today. The houses, an inheritance of the early greek inhabitants, are lovely restored. The main attraction is the extended harbour.

Patara
Patara, the birth-place of the holy Nicolaus (280 AD.), lived trough its flowering period under the Romans. At this time Patara was the provision- harbour for the army and the seat of the roman mayor. Later Patara shared the fate of so many small- asiatic harbour- towns: it siltet.
In Partara starts one of the most beautiful and widest beaches of Turkey, about 9 km long. The sand is fine, nearly white and surrounded by high dunes. The sea here is also clear as a crystal.

Xanthos
The town was the old capital of Lycia before Myra. The Xanthiens was famous for their courage and their pride. "Rather dead then enslaved" was their motto, and so it becamed two times to a tragic self- destruction of the town- inhabitants. Impressing are the remains of the lycien culture, for instance the eight metre high Harphyien- grave, the roman theatre and an Obelisc.
