Simena: Ancient Ruins Beneath the Waves

Glass-Bottom Boat Tour of Sunken City

The ancient sunken city of Simena originally formed two areas - an island and a coastal section of the mainland. You will see the partly submerged ruins of the residential part of Simena, destroyed by the catastrophic earthquakes in the 2nd century AD. The glass-bottom boat you will sail in give the best views of the ancient harbour and foundations of ruined buildings beneath you. The best way to reach this amazing place is to drive to the village of Üçagiz, where you can pick up the glass-bottom boat tour. This will take you initially to Kaleköy and then on to the sunken city of Simena.
