Kaleköy (literally "Village of the castle" in Turkish: Greek Simena), is a Turkish village on the Mediterranean coast of Lycia, between Kaş and Kale. Kaleköy faces the island of Kekova, and can be reached only by sea.

The village lies amidst a Lycian necropolis, which is partially sunken underwater. Kaleköy is overlooked by a Byzantine castle, built in the Middle Ages to fight the pirates which nested in Kekova. The castle contains a small theater.

Kaleköy is a popular yachting destination.
