Discover the traces of the past on Gemile Island

Gemile Island, located opposite the cove and beach, attracts attention both for its natural beauty and its history. Formerly known as Aya Nikola, this island with its church and cistern ruins dates back to the early Christian and Byzantine periods (between the 5th and 11th centuries). The frescoes of the Byzantine-era church ruins still stand today. There is also a 500-meter tunnel connecting two churches here. However, part of the tunnel has collapsed, and other ruins have been submerged in water due to earthquakes in 240-241 AD. When you visit Gemile Island, you can see these and other submerged ruins two meters deep in the sea. Additionally, from the island's peaks, you can have a chance to see the magnificent beauty of Butterfly Valley, Gocek Bay, and Oludeniz and enjoy these breathtaking views or capture them in photographs.

Gemile Cove is located 6 kilometers from Kayakoy. Since it is very close, when you come here, you can even walk to Kayakoy. Additionally, you can also visit Soguksu, Kisik Cove, Kisik Cave, Afkule, and Beshtashlar.
