About Gemiler Island
Gemiler Island (Turkish: Gemile Adası or Gemiler Adası, Greek: Γκεμιλέρ) is an island located off the coast of Turkey near the city of Fethiye. On the island are the remains of several churches built between the fourth and sixth centuries AD, along with a variety of associated buildings. Archaeologists believe it was the location of the original tomb of Saint Nicholas. The original Turkish name is Gemile from the Greek word καμήλα (kamila) meaning camel, so called because of its geographical shape (see Fethiye Gemile Island Archaeological Site).
