Kaş

Kaş is the place where the mysterious world of ancient cities accompanies the miraculous harmony of nature and history, blue and green. It is 192 km from Antalya city. Directly opposite to the Mediterranean is the Greek island of Meis. The length of the coast is around 70 KM.

      Çukurbağ peninsula, where mostly hotels and villas are located, is like a tongue stretched out to the sea. Büyükçakıl, Küçükçakıl and Akçagerme beaches in the settlement center bring the people of Kaş and their guests together with the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean.

      Limanağzı beach, which is one of the beautiful bays used as a harbor in ancient times, can be reached by boats. Along with the increasing tourism activities in Kaş, nature sports such as trekking, mountaineering, rafting and cycling have also progressed. Kaş is one of the most prominent centers of our country in terms of diving tourism, perhaps the first.

      Kas Marina, one of the modern marinas of the Mediterranean, has made Kaş a stronger sea city by further strengthening the maritime identity of the region throughout history. There is a boatyard with a capacity of 160 boats on the land side of the marina with a capacity of 472 yachts. There are 7 floating piers and 1 breakwater in the marina. It also has suitable water depth and mooring facilities for docking boats of all sizes, including super and mega yachts. With its 3 thousand square meter closed area, marina service buildings, yacht club, restaurants, sports facilities, shops and all the services that yachtsmen will need, Kaş Marina has become indispensable for sea lovers.

      Long Bazaar; It is the most beautiful street of Kas. You won't find the special designs you'll see anywhere else in the boutique shops on this uphill street decorated with colorful bougainvillea. The magnificent monument at the end of Uzun Çarşı street is a tomb from the 4th century BC. The work consists of a single block. It is called the King's Tomb because of the lion heads on it. At the beginning of the works that have survived from the Lycians are the tombs carved into the rocks in some of the Lycian cities and the sarcophagi scattered on all sides. This is the most magnificent of these Sarcophagi.

      Of the 6 caves around Kaş, the Blue Cave, 18 km away from Kaş, Aşirlı Island Sea Cave, and Güvercinlik Cave, which is famous for its pigeons, are the most famous. From a bilingual inscription that met in Kaş, it was definitively understood that the city under Kaş was Antiphellos. However, its older name is Habesos. B.C. IV. In the 16th century, Antiphellos was a very small settlement on the seaside and was the port of the city of Phellos, a little above it. However, while entering the Hellenistic period, Phellos regressed, while Antiphellos developed and came to the fore. This situation continued in the Roman period. Thanks to the cedar wood trade and sponge business, the city developed from the port status of Phellos and became a self-sufficient rich city.

      There are many legends in Kaş, where each point is a different magic. It is said that the lovers who look into the eyes of the Sleeping Giant, who is said to be Promethus, who was chained across the port of Kaş, also met and never left. So there is love in every step of this place. That's why they say that the best love lives in Kaş.
