Kekova Reef
Kaş · Turkey
A shallow reef stretching over partially submerged Lycian ruins near the sunken city of Kekova. Stone columns, wall fragments, and ancient harbour structures lie at 2 to 12 m, colonised by sponge, sea grass, and damselfish. Snorkellers and divers share the site in high season but underwater the ruins corridor is quiet and surreal. Current is generally negligible making this an accessible technical history dive for intermediate divers.
