St Nicholas Island

St. Nicholas Island, also known as Gemiler Island, is located off the coast of Fethiye in southwestern Turkey.

It contains the ruins of several Byzantine churches and tombs carved into rock, believed to be linked to St. Nicholas, the 4th-century bishop of Myra.

The island was an important stop for Christian pilgrims during the early medieval period. Accessible by boat, it offers hiking trails, historical remains, and panoramic views of the Turquoise Coast at sunset.
