ACCESS TO SIMENA
Simena is a pretty small place. While you might manage to find a place on the fly, you might want to arrange things ahead of time to stay and having the place where you are staying fix you up with a boat to come over from Üçðaýz on. The transfer is 10-20 TL and the ride is about 20 minutes across Üçðaýz Bay and around the corner – left – into Simena. From Üçðaýz you can see where Simena is by noting the big Turkish flag flying on top of what looks like a hill, but is really the castle. Watch out for the ruins of Teimussa which you pass right after leaving Üçðaýz. Pack light because you will have to carry your bags up several groups of rough stone steps to reach your pension in most cases. Another alternative to the boat is to drive out on the somewhat rough gravel road from Üçðaýz to the east looping several kilometers around the bay and ending in a parking lot next to a water fountain...
