Kas is a delightful resort in Turkey's Mediterranean region. Once a simple fishing village Kas is now the region's second major resort.
Tucked amongst towering cliffs and dramatic coastline, Kas maintains its small-town charm with narrow cobbled streets and interesting shops and good restaurants.
Local outdoor activities include water-oriented sports; the rugged coast allows divers easy access to crystal clear Mediterranean waters. Kas is the main centre for trips by glass-bottomed boats to the sunken cites around Kekova Island , where views of underwater ruins can be enjoyed.
Kas is built around the ruins of ancient Antiphellos. There is a Lycian-style sarcophagus at the start of the street dropping down to the harbour, the imposing Lion Tomb, ruins of a Hellenic theatre, and rock tombs set in local hillsides all make a spectacular setting. In addition, trips to surrounding historical and archaeological sites can be arranged.
Finally, a lively and varied night scene helps retain the resort's standing as a charming holiday destination.
