Kas

Delightfully situated among towering vertical cliffs, Kas is the region's second major holiday resort. Although lacking in idyllic stretches of beach, the dramatic rocky coastline creates easy access to clear and unpolluted Mediterranean waters. Kas also boasts an abundance of outdoor activities and a lively nightlife, ensuring its reputation as a satisfying holiday destination.It is the centre for glass-bottomed boat trips to the sunken cities around Kekova Island, where remains of mysterious civilisations can be viewed just below the surface of the water. Visits can also be arranged to the surrounding archaeological sites at Demre, Myra, and the Xanthos Valley. The town is built around the remains of ancient Antiphellos, and there are ruins of a Hellenistic theatre, the monumental Lion Tomb, and some hillside rock tombs in and around the town.Despite attracting thousands of holidaymakers every year and the tourist development of what was once a simple fishing village, Kas still preserves its small-town charm with narrow cobbled streets and novel boutique shops.
