Kaleköy faces the island of Kekova, and can be reached by sea or on foot from Üçağız.
The village lies amidst a Lycian necropolis, which is partially sunken underwater. Kaleköy is overlooked by a East Roman castle, built in the Middle Ages to fight the pirates who nested in Kekova. The castle contains a small theatre.
