Kas: Activities

Nestled between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea on the Turkish Riviera, Kas is a traveller’s delight. Beachgoers have a wide selection of turquoise waters to visit with Kaputas Beach and nearby bays on the doorstep. If you’re looking for more outdoor adventures, hike the Lycian Way – a top long-distance trail – kayak, or paraglide over the spectacular coastline. Delve into ancient cities to learn about the ancient past and explore the sweet old town to see how the locals live.

1. Explore the Ancient City of Antiphellos

Once a thriving Lycian city, Antiphellos offers a blast from the past and some pretty impressive ruins. Stroll through the ancient streets, marvel at the rock-cut tombs and the impressive Hellenistic Theatre. This stunning structure is sea-facing so offers amazing views – and it’s a great place to watch the sunset.

2. Enjoy boat trips to Kekova Island

Just a short distance by boat, glide over the turquoise waters of the coast to reach Kekova Island, home to the Sunken City of Simena. This ancient Lycian settlement is partially submerged underwater due to an earthquake. You’ll be able to see the remains of houses, staircases and walls beneath you.

3. Wander Around Kas Town

The Old Town of Kas is a traveller’s delight. Explore the maze of narrow streets, sample local cuisine at one of many eateries, and get a glimpse of artisan products at local markets. Head to the harbour area and soak up the Greek island vibe of this area. Sip on Turkish tea at a street-side cafe and soak up the peaceful atmosphere.
