Kas Attractions

 
Southwest coast (Mediterranean)

The idyllic little port of Kas stands in a small bay near the southern tip of Lycia. The most easterly of the Greek islands Kastellorizo (Megisti; Turkish Meis) lies just offshore. The houses line the slopes surrounding the main ancient harbor, which is protected by a breakwater.

Holiday resort

Thanks to its beautiful setting and the sailing facilities it offers, Kas has become a popular tourist resort with hotels, guest-houses and a good camp-site. Boat trips are available to the many fascinating places along the coastline of tiny coves and bays as well as the Greek island of Kastellorizo (Meis).
