Simena ( grc, Σίμηνα) was a town on the coast of
ancient Lycia, 60
stadia from
Aperlae. The ''
Stadiasmus Maris Magni'' calls the town Somena (Σόμηνα).
Its site is located near
Kaleköy, Turkey.
Grave inscriptions and coin finds indicate that the town existed in the fourth century BC. Part of the ancient city is now submerged in the sea and remains of the
Titus thermal baths lie in the water. A small theatre or
bouleuterion on the acropolis within the later fort and carved into the rock can be seen.
