SW: Kekova, Simena, Ugaciz

We drove from Kalkan to Ugaciz to take a day-long boat ride to view the underwater city of Kekova, and the ancient city of Simena. We had a huge boat to ourselves. As it turned out, our guide knew nothing about the underwater ruins, but it was a very pleasant day riding around the Mediterranean, and we saw literally hundreds of Lycean sarchophagus tombs, which just lie around everywhere.
