Kaş is the Lycian coast's sailing and diving capital — a small town built into a cliff above a harbour that looks across to the Greek island of Kastellorizo (Meis), just 2 kilometres offshore. The waterfront mixes cobblestone alleys, a Hellenistic amphitheatre set into the hillside above the sea, and a string of cliffside restaurants. Beneath the surface, the area holds dozens of charted wrecks — amphorae, Roman trading ships, a WWII bomber — and dive operators run daily trips. Charter routes use Kaş as the launching point west toward Kekova or south for the day-crossing to Meis. Season runs April through October; June and September are warm with steady afternoon breeze.
Antiphellos Ancient Theater: A Journey Through Time
Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Kaş in Turkey lies the Antiphellos Ancient Theater, a testament to the rich history of Lycia. This well-preserved theater offers a breathtaking glimpse into the past and a stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea.
History & Architecture
Constructed in the 1st century BC, the Antiphellos Ancient Theater was initially built to accommodate approximately 4000 spectators. It boasts a unique design feature: the lack of a permanent stone stage. This was done intentionally to preserve the breathtaking sea view. The theater experienced renovations in the 2nd century AD after a devastating earthquake.
A Scenic Experience
Visiting the Antiphellos Ancient Theater isn't just about observing the ruins. Imagine yourself as a spectator centuries ago, taking in a performance under the clear Mediterranean sky. Close your eyes and feel the warm breeze carrying the scent of the sea. The theater's setting on a hillside provides an unforgettable panoramic view of Kaş and the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo).

Browse for handcrafted jewelry, traditional Turkish textiles, aromatic herbs and spices, locally made clothing, and other treasures. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere as locals and visitors alike bustle about.
King's Tomb
As you continue along the Long Bazaar, you'll encounter a striking piece of history – the King's Tomb. This magnificent Lycian sarcophagus dates back to the 4th century BC. Picture it standing tall on a pedestal, adorned with intricate detailing and a Lycian inscription.
