\"\"Gemiler Adasi, an island three miles west of \u00d6ludeniz<\/em>, has an attractive anchorage on the north side which can be used in settled weather. \u00a0Anchor in 15\u201320 metres and take a line ashore. \u00a0Often rather aggressive \u201cboat boys\u201d will approach and offer to take your lines (for a tip, of course). The shore is lined with Byzantine ruins, extending some 15-20 metres out under the water. The setting is most picturesque. On the island are the remains of several churches built between the fourth and sixth centuries AD, along with a variety of associated buildings.<\/div>\n

\"\"Archaeologists believe it was the location of the original tomb of\u00a0Saint Nicholas. \u00a0The Turkish name of Gemiler Adasi, meaning \u201cIsland of Boats\u201d, is a possible reference to St. Nicholas\u2019s role as the patron saint of sailors. \u00a0The island was also referred to as St. Nicholas Island<\/em> by seafarers in the\u00a0medieval\u00a0period.\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
