The
island of Kekova will probably be your the most
interesting stop. As trade between the Lycians
and the other Hellenistic Greeks increased so
did piracy and many harbours and ports were
fortified in the same way that Kekova is. Again
you'll see the remains of buildings and walls
beneath your boat, and, depending on the
knowledge of your guide, various bits and pieces
will be pointed out to you. You'll stop a couple
of times for swimming and snorkelling, a couple
of caveats for you here. You should watch out
for the spiny sea urchins that hang out in the
ruins and you should be aware that skin diving
near the submerged buidlings is prohibited, as
is the removal of any old looking stuff that you
might find. You will regret it if you don't take
a snorkel and mask with you but exercise a
little restraint, your captain knows where its
OK for you to dive.
