Information Panel – Kas Town
Delightfully situated among towering vertical cliffs, Kas is the region's second major holiday resort, and although lacking in idyllic stretches of beach, the dramatic rocky coastline creates easy access to clear and unpolluted Mediterranean waters; and an abundance of outdoor activities, and a lively nightlife have maintained its reputation as a satisfying holiday destination. It is the centre for glass-bottomed boat trips to the sunken cities around Kekova Island from where remains of mysterious civilisations can be viewed just below the surface of the water, and visits can be arranged to the surrounding archaeological sites at Demre, Myra and the Xanthos Valley. The town is built around the remains of ancient Antiphellos, and there are ruins of a Hellenistic theatre, the monumental Lion Tomb, and some hillside rock tombs in and around the town. Despite attracting thousands of holidaymakers every year and the tourist development of what was once a simple fishing village, Kas still preserves its small-town charm, with narrow cobbled streets and novel boutique shops.
Contrary to popular belief, haggling is not common practise in Kas but visitors will be pleased to know that shop owners cannot hassle tourists or they face losing their license. With plenty of good shopping available, travellers will be have to sift through the dozens of carpet shops, souvenir stalls and counterfeit sportswear to find the true gems. Little boutiques selling tools, hand-carved artefacts, local silver and gold jewellery and plenty of Turkish kilims (hand-woven rugs) are the best places to shop in Kas.
Kas is home to a growing number of cafes, restaurants and patisseries and visitors will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out. Boasting all kinds of cuisine from Mediterranean, fresh local seafood and meze (similar to Spanish tapas), eating out in Kas is a culinary experience to remember and one that will linger on your taste buds for hours afterwards.
