Because it sits on top of the ancient city of Simena, building construction is not allowed. You see the shores, the sea and Kekova island from the castle which was supposedly constructed by the Knights of St Jean. Situated off the shore from Kalekoy, Kekova island has no year round inhabitants. Off the coast facing Kalekoy are the famous ruins of Batikkent, a city that has been submerged for thousands of years.

Batikkent was hit by a tremendous earthquake that also shook Simena and Aperlai some 2200 years ago. Swimming and diving is banned around the area. because of the danger created by heavy motor vessel traffic between the island and the coast, where ruins are located. Ucagiz village is popular for the nearby termissa ruins and for the variety of fish. Thevillage has been under governmental protection, thereby prohibiting further construction in the area.
