Antalya Kaş !
Kas, a former fishing village once known as Phellos in Lycian times, has developed into a delightful, enchanting place, without being overwhelmed by mass tourism as seen in many other places. As in ancient times, it is a well-developed town with many of its original features and traditions still intact. There are no large hotel chains to be found, nor are there any tacky shopping areas, or pushy salespeople. Instead you will find picturesque walkways, Mediterranean charm, small boutiques filled with delicate craftsmanship, superb cafes, as well as fine restaurants. We would like to mention two of them. The long-established and recently restored Mercan can be found in the marina area. Although not cheap, they still offer excellent value for money. Then there is the restaurant of the Kale hotel, with a 4-course menu every evening that you should definitely try (book previous day).
Accommodation in Kas ranges from basic guesthouses to stylish boutique hotels, offering excellent choices for every taste and budget, making this place the perfect destination for people who value authenticity but who do not want to give up all comforts.
Lycian sarcophagi in the centre of town, a large market every Friday, beautiful beach coves for bathing, nearby historic sites, as well as being part of the Lycian walkway, make this an unforgettable location. We agree with the view of 'geo saison an', who state on their website that: '(...) it still is a small town with an unusual charm – in particular, the old Greek town houses with their enclosed, wooden balconies'. |
