This site was also home to the Lycans once further comprising their civilization, from culture to architecture and even their day to day survival.

The outlines of the houses and the walls can be sighted under water especially the shallow parts where the ruins are easily seen.
There are also numerous ancient Lycian tombs which could be found on the hills surrounding Kekova.
