Gemiler Island (St. Nicholas Island)

Gemiler Island, also called the island of St. Nicholas, known for its many ruins, which have reached us from the time of the Byzantines. It’s best to get here from the Blue Lagoon or Bay Gemiler during the Blue Cruise.
The island bears traces of a fairly large Byzantine settlement, which at one time was one of the centers of Christianity. Construction was here during the V-XI centuries. And although many of the buildings destroyed almost completely, here you can still see quite a lot of interesting things.
In the northern part of the island are partly sunken ruins of the dock and warehouse. Against the backdrop of civil structures of the island stand the ruins of churches and chapels. The floors were decorated with amazing mosaics. All over the island were dug wells and cisterns were built, whose traces can be found today.
Give your yacht a stop at St. Nicholas Island during the Blue Cruise for sure.
