The loveliest town along the Mediterranean coastline... Although heavily affected by tourism industry, still you can see some old beautiful houses covered with bougainvillae in the narrow streets. Don’t be surprised to see Lycian sarcophagi in the middle of the street! Towards the peninsula, you will also see a Hellenistic theatre. Both locals and tourists love enjoying the fullmoon or a thousand stars drinking wine in the theatre overlooking the sea. Lift your head when you walk around, or you’ll miss the rock-cut tombs Lycians produced. Kas is the best place to see how nature, history and fun come together, and create a thing of beauty. Nearby, visiting Ucagiz – Kekova – Simena is a must. Depending on how fit you are, you might take a boat tour or paddle in a seakayak! After a long day, you can drink your ice cold beer overlooking the sunset, and get ready to party or find a quiet spot to reflect on whether life can be better than this...

Welcome to the tomato and orange capitals of Turkey! You can see citrus trees and greenhouses everywhere, but that’s not why you are here! There are three attractions you have to see: Myra, the Lycian site famous for its rock-cut tombs. Church of St. Nicholas, which used to house bones belonging to St. Nicholas (yes, unfortunately he is dead). Arykanda: Perched on a hilltop, with a stunning view, you can’t miss this Lycian site.
