7Simena (Kaleköy), Turkey
Accessible mainly by boat or foot, Simena is a tiny coastal village where time seems to slow down. Fishing boats bob gently in the harbor beneath the ruins of a medieval castle overlooking the water.
The sea here is crystal clear, and ancient ruins lie just beneath the surface, creating a unique connection between nature and history. Traditional guesthouses blend into the landscape, and the quiet pace of life makes it a deeply relaxing escape.
It’s one of the Mediterranean’s most atmospheric and peaceful hidden corners.
