Once a fishing village, Kaş brings together the Lycian past, a lively seaside town, and the surrounding Mediterranean landscape. Between dives, explore its streets, coastline, and traces of the ancient world.
Nature, history, and seaside life meet in Kaş. Tourism has grown, yet the street pattern and relaxed atmosphere of the former fishing village remain part of the town's character.
The ancient name of Kaş was Antiphellos. Lycian and Roman traces can still be found in town, including rock-cut tombs, sections of the city walls, and a well-preserved ancient theatre overlooking Meis.
The weekly Friday market brings together seasonal fruit and vegetables, spices, clothing, breakfast goods, and souvenirs. It is a colourful way to see everyday life in Kaş.
More than 30 dive sites around Kaş include reefs, walls, caves, ancient amphorae, and wrecks. Visibility in the clear water can reach 40 metres. Divers may see grouper, barracuda, turtles, and amberjack; marine life and visibility vary by site and day.
