Kekova, also called Caravola, is a small uninhabited island near Kaş covering area of 4.5 km² which in administrative aspect belongs to Antalya. The Kekova region, specially protected area, extends on 260 km² surface comprising the island of Kekova, the villages of Kaleköy and Üçağız and the ancient towns: Simena, Aperlae, Dolchiste and Teimioussa. According to declaration of Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forest from 1990, diving and swimming in the area of sunken city is forbidden since tourists in the past were taking a piece of ancient relics with them as a souvenir.
