The local fishermen are very
friendly and will gladly take you with their fishing boats
to the wonderful bays and coves along the coast. There are
also daily excursions by boats to places which have
touristic attractions such as Kekova, Simena, Uçagiz and
Blue Cave, which is 35m long and 18m wide with a fascinating
attraction. Kas has remained completely unspoiled since,
until recent times, it was possible to reach there only by
sea or on horseback. Although it cannot be defined as
developed, it has all the comforts of a well-equipped
holiday resort. |

There is a marina where the
yachts can easily obtain their needs. Kas is a remarkable
spot for a ‘Blue Voyage’. The bays are for the divers who
want to explore the underwater world, which is as rich as
the region itself, if you would like to have some sun, sea
and sand, and then you will choose one of the boat
excursions to Patara or Kaputas. The theatre stands in very
good condition and the Lycian tombs will give you clues
about ancient Antiphellos on which Kas is situated.

Around Kas,
for sightseeing, there are many historical places still
preserving the air of the Lycian; Phellos 12 kms to Kaş, an
outpost town with many valuable remains and Trysa; Theimussa
(Uçagiz), 34 kms to Kaş, the oldest Lycian city now
sheltering plenty of tombs and inscriptions in Lycian. It is
also the last point you will reach by car. If you are going
to Kekova you can take a boat from here. Kekova is the name
of the region of fascinating islands, bays, and ancient
cities. Kekova has a rarely seen attraction: Apollonia; a
sunken city along the shore of the island. |

The geological movements caused
the city on the island to submerge, creating a strange scene
with half of the city under water and half above.
(Underwater diving is strictly forbidden in this area in
order to protect the remnants.) Simena (Kalekoy) which is
accessible only by sea, will provide you with a bird’s
eye-view of the marvels of Kekova from the top of its
castle, Xanthos, (Kinik) which was the capital of ancient
Lycia, is a mixture of ruins from Lycian, Byzantine and
Roman times, and Kyaenai, Aperlai and Apollonia are of
interest due to their archeological wealth. |

Kas is a proper place for
trekking since it is surrounded by high mountains. You may
visit the remote villages and ancient remains while climbing
up for splendid views. Mount Kizlar Sivrisi (3086 m) and
Mount Akdag (3030 m ) are for professional climbing. For
those who would like to spend some days on that high,
breathing the fresh air, Gömbe, Uçarsa and Yesil Gol High
Meadows are the most suitable places. |
