Morning light fractures on the Lycian coast as the boat slips from Antalya’s shore and the sea dares you forward toward Kekova’s half-submerged walls. Salt-slick wind pushes the bow past islets where stone foundations disappear beneath turquoise water; gulls cut the sky as local fishermen haul nets near Üçağız’s low harbor.
