Kekova Island is a large island that faces the village of Kale, and gives its name to the entire region. The name "Kekova" is Turkish for "plain of thyme" and describes the region encompassing the island of Kekova, the villages of Kalekoy and Ucagiz and the three ancient towns of Simena, Teimussa and Tersane.
Kekova Island is also known as the "Sunken City", as it is partially submerged. This is a result of earthquakes throughout history.
