Traditional Gulet Sailing @ Aegean & Mediterranean Sea

KAS - ANTIPHELLOS 15 miles from Kalkan, Kas is another sheltered harbour where you can stay overnight. Kas has also became a popular touristic centre with its historical and natural ambiance, small hotels and bars. The modern town of Kas has many remains from the Lycian period when the town was named Antiphellos. The rock-cut tombs on the slopes of the surrounding hills date to the 4th century BC. On a rise between the sea and the hill which was probably the acropolis of Antiphellos, you can see a rock tomb decorated with a Doric style façade and dancing female figures inside. To the west of the modern town following the road to Çukurbag Peninsula, the ancient theatre of Antiphellos appears. The Cavea of the theatre was made with 26 seating rows for a 4.000 people capacity. This faces Meis (Kastellerizon) Greek Island 5 miles away.

Among thousands of sarcophagi in the whole Lycia, one is used as the modern symbol of Kas town. It stands at the upper end of Uzun Çarsi Street 5 min. walking distance from your boat in the harbour, and its excellent preservation and elegant form is impressive.

The Hyposorium of the sarcophagus has Lycian epigraphs, which explains the importance of the person who was buried there and the rules on how to protect this monumental tomb.
