Kaş

The Art of Living by the Sea

Kaş is a coastal gem where ancient spirit and modern elegance meet. Nestled between dramatic cliffs and the deep blue sea, it’s loved for its vibrant underwater world, artistic soul, and sun-drenched charm. Once an ancient Lycian harbor, today Kaş blends boutique simplicity with adventure — a place where you can dive among ruins by day and dine under starlight by night.

Historical & Cultural Background

Once known as Antiphellos, Kaş was a vital port of the Lycian civilization, thriving as a center of trade and culture. The ancient amphitheater, still overlooking the sea, reflects centuries of artistry and connection to the Mediterranean. Throughout Greek, Roman, and Byzantine times, Kaş remained a beacon of coastal life. Today, it carries that same spirit — a living harmony of history, creativity, and sea breeze, where every stone and smile tells a story.
