Antiphellos. Apart from overcrowded tourist places it still has its
typical scenery. Small white houses with wooden balconies, the traditional
market on Fridays, boats that take you to different places like Kekova or
the Greek island of Kastellorizon from the lovely small harbour. The harbour
town of Kas is located on the coast which extends from Antalya to
Fethiye. Traces of ancient civilizations still remain, for example the
Hellenic amphitheater, tombs, sarcophagus and ruins of ancient city walls.

diving, drift diving, the fabulous amphora field and even some fascinating
shipwrecks. There is also a wide variety of water sports. For those

historic sites are within comfortable reach of the

feature of Kas. Cruises

hustle and bustle of tourist towns.
