An unforgettable and easy trip with children. We arrived at the fortress by car from the opposite side, reached the top of the fortress in 30 minutes, enjoyed the wonderful view, went down to the sea, had lunch at a cafe, and then rented a boat that took us to the main attractions and returned to the car.

Tourists often visit this fortress as part of Kekova excursions, which also include exploring the sunken town of Dolihiste and swimming in the bays. Historical atmosphere – the castle has an ancient history (presumably the Byzantine or Lycian period). Panoramic views – the fortress offers stunning views of the sea and islands. Quiet and authentic area – fewer tourists than in Demre or Kasha. – the castle remains mostly in ruins, with few information signs.– you can only get there by boat or on foot along the mountain trails. If you love history and picturesque places, yes, but don't expect impressive structures like in the fortresses of Alanya or Bodrum. This place is more for lovers of solitude and nature. It is better to combine a visit to the castle with a boat tour of Kekova.

A great place for yachtsmen, several berths with restaurants, tasty and not expensive, right there along the narrow streets you can climb to the top of the fortress and see the whole bay, a very picturesque place, I highly recommend going on a yacht!

It's a very beautiful place! We only arrived for 15 minutes, so we didn't buy a ticket. We went to the right of the entrance and enjoyed the most beautiful view of the sea. There are also ancient tombs there.

I liked. Great views, high and beautiful. There is nothing above except the ruins of the fortress, an iron cannon, a Turkish flag and a stunning view. It may be hard for someone to climb, but there is not one endless staircase, there are many small ones Downstairs there are shops with no showers, souvenirs, Turkish flavor. The marina. Tombs are visible in the east, a bay in the west, and Kekova Island in the south. July'22 admission is 25 lira, according to the museum card for free. Or go by the stairs initially to the west - also for free)))

This is an absolutely amazing place! It's not so easy to drive up by car, but it's real! Mountain trails, ruins of an ancient fortress and absolutely unreal views! Entrance is paid if you arrived by yacht or boat, and free if you came on foot from the other side)

5 stars only for the remains of the ruins and the picturesque view. The entrance to the castle is 4 euros, and no one takes care of it. There are more advertisements than spectacles. The Turks have done their best to destroy the remnants of the history of THEIR people over the years and the tombs are overgrown with grass, one sadly sticks out of the water (you can swim up on a saba), but chickens and turkeys graze on an ancient mosaic of centuries-old history🤬 In the Marina itself, the kitchen and staff are amazing. There are fish swimming around. I recommend trying fried squid.

It's an amazing place, it's worth getting here. The only thing is, despite the fact that the entrance is paid, the condition of the stairs to the top is depressing, repairs are required, some steps are broken.

October 2023 admission is 90 liras (about $4). The climb is steep, without any insurance in the form of a railing. There is a wooden staircase to the very top, the railing is broken in places, be careful. There are shops and restaurants along the way. You can drink freshly squeezed orange, pomegranate juice. From above, the beauty is indescribable.

A bomb site. Gorgeous views! The fortress itself is something. Ancient, but well preserved. I recommend everyone to definitely visit here. By the way, there is an opinion that this fortress can only be reached by sea, but this is not the case, we drove to it by car without any problems.

An epic place, the best place to see Kash, the drowned city and the beautiful Aegean Sea. There are a lot of cafes downstairs.

A beautiful view opens from the fortress, there is also a burial site that unfortunately have all been opened. As well as a mosque with a glass coating under which the floor covering is clearly visible.

A good place to spend an evening. The sunset view is good, and so are the restaurants at the foot.

Nice view of the bay. As a historical object, it is not very interesting.
