Kas - one of the most "non-Turkish" resorts in Turkey, is located in a fairly closed place, at the junction of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas, surrounded on three sides by mountains and pine forest. This resort is almost the only corner of Turkey where a mass tourist did not reach, the reasons are simple: there is a sufficiently large distance from airports and the absence of large hotels.
The town of Kash is nestled on the slopes of the mountains descending to the sea, and the local coastal waters are very popular among diving enthusiasts.

Entertainment, sightseeing and sightseeing Kasha
In Kash, the ruins of an ancient temple and a small Hellenistic theater have been preserved. Above the slope, above the theater, in the rock there is a Doric tomb decorated with bas-reliefs. An even more interesting tomb is the two-story Lycian Lion's tomb, which received its name from the architectural relief designs depicted on it, made in the form of lion's heads.
Also of interest are the ancient Lycian settlements of Xanthos, Letun, Patara, which have preserved many historical monuments, located not far from Kash.
Patara, which was the main port of the state of Lycia, was known throughout the Greek world as the sanctuary of Apollo with the oracle. It was here around 270 that the future bishop of Myra, Nikolai, better known as Nicholas the Wonderworker, was born and subsequently educated. Since ancient times, the Roman triumphal arch, thermae, theater, Corinthian temple and necropolis have been preserved in Patara.
Xanthos, now known as Kinik and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was once the capital of the state of Likis and one of the most powerful cities in Turkey. The main attractions of Xanthos are the Lycian tombs, among which one can distinguish the tomb of the Harpy, reaching almost 9-meter height and decorated with images of these mythical creatures - half-women, half-breeds
Opposite the bay is the Greek island of Meis and the town of Kastelorizo - the distance from the port to the port is about 7 km (a Schengen visa is required).
